Can't find the sunroof drain hoses to blow them out.
 
My roof collects water and drips it on me when it's been raining hard. I know there are drain noses that run down the back roof struts and into the wheel wells that need to be blown out but I can't find where the hoses empty. Where are they?

I have this problem too. Anyone?

the back drains exit right behind the back tires, behind the splash guards/mud flaps (if you have them) Open the sunroof and pour some water in the drain track and watch where the water drains out onto the ground

If you know how to access the power antenna you'll find the hose in that area.

^^ This.

Mine was all rusted and water was backing up. Once I cleaned it out at this point it has been fine.

I have the same problem

What do you use to clear the lines out if you don't have airtools?

Found the rear hoses and blew them out with a high powered shop vac and micro attatchments. Just realized there's two up front as well. The rear passenger side hose has a second hose attatched to it. Where's this hose come from? Doesn't say in the FSM. Passenger side still not draining well enough.

Yup, there are front ones too. Travel hidden inside the a-pillars.

If I had this problem the last thing I'd be worried about is water dripping on me.......

Can you blow out the back ones from up top with it open? Mine seems to just leak on the passenger side back seat right by the handle above the window. Or could it possibly the seal isn't stopping enough water? I know its not totally going to seal it off but it only really starts to leak in if its raining really hard or if I go to the car wash. Is there some adjustment for the sunroof that I don't know about?
