sunroof drain problem

ok so it rained real hard today and wen i got in my car the drivers side floor was soaked. so i got to looking and started takin stuff apart trying to figure out wat was leaking. found out that the hose that is used to drain the water from around the sunroof seal was disconnect. the water had been going in through the sunroof(sunroof was closed) and running down my pillar and into my little capartment by the steering wheel onto the floor. has anyone else had this problem. if so theres your answer.

you might try taking you pillar cover off and pull you headliner back to make sure that hose is connected. you'll see the hose as soon as you pop that cover off.

yup I had the same thing happen to me about a month ago.. Same problem and all. we pulled the headliner down some and the Left Front drain hose came off. So we just stuck it back on and a little zip tie action to keep her i place. No problems since then

I had the same problem, took it to the dealer twice. First time they just redid the hose and reconnected it. Second time they installed a different hose. The stock hose is too short, it pops out. You need to get a longer hose that is the right size and that will work, or if you're under warranty bring it to the dealer.

the ends of the hoses where they exit the body are little rubber nipples that are pinched together. they trap dirt and can trap enough to become clogged. you can clip them with diagonal cutters to allow dirt to flow out of them. there are four. two in the rear part of the front fenderwells behind the fender lining and two in the rear quarters that are accessible in the trunk behind the carpeting
