After rains recently water would spill onton the passenger seat when I came to my first full stop. I assumed the moonroof was leaking but, after searching the forums found that the culprit is a clogged drainage pipe/hose. The tip of this comes out behind the rear passenger tire. My question is: how do I access this so I can unclog it? The thread I found:

doesn't have the photos linked any more so I can't figure out how to do this.

Any help would be great.

thanks,

moonroop?


anyhow I'm pretty sure you can use a metal coat hanger to clean out the drain hose passage, just cram it up in there..

Compressed air works as well. That's how I cleaned mine out.

I had this problem recently, and I think I was spraying out the right thing. I had a hole on either side toward the front of the moonroof opening, so I shot compressed air down that. But to me it sounded like it came out behind the front tires. Am I wrong?

The drain hoses are on the rear of the sunroof unit, they run down through the c pillars on each side of the car, exiting out by the rear mudflaps..

After I started this thread I poked around the trunk and found I could access the tubes via the jack compartment. I unhooked the black tube and it had a bunch of gunk in it, including those helicoptor seeds. Anyway, I thinks its clear.

Are you able to access the front of the tubes via the moon rooF?

thanks,

yeah. Open it all the way and you will see a hole on either side about the size of a dime. Hook up you air attachement on your compressor and blow the lines out.
