Sunroof drain exit tube location?

I've been looking around threads but the only one I got was the drain tube by the power antenna. Where exactly can I find all four exit tubes?

Not sure but can't you just pour water into it and look for a drip on the ground?

the tube by the antenna clogs at the y junction
since there is a antenna drain tube that merges with the
passenger rear roof drain tube

yup if you open the roof there is a gutter system and the front holes are visible

Yup. I know where the drain hoses by the roof are located. Using the water drip test won't work because it's pretty darn clogged. I'm not sure if the round shaped thing at the bottom of the rear wheel well is the exit for one of the tubes. But there's nothing like it by the driver's side.

Yeah but that's only one of the exits. Unless all tubes go to that y junction.

They are all pretty tucked away. But the front two are in the A-pillars and end near the side kick panels beneath the dash. I know the fronts are two peices. Once peice connects to the sunroof, then there is a "joint" where the estension tube connects and channels the water down into the rocker panel (front) or bottom rear quarter (rear).

When the front ones get clogged, sometimes your front seat carpets will get wet.
