What the heck is this?

While reaching my arm in to get the jack-bar (i figured it had fell back there or something), i pulled out these rubber hoses.. what are they? i don't have any idea what they could possibly be hooked up to.. are they important? they were just dangling there..

they're definitely drain hoses. I think for the sunroof. I have them too.

i think they are sunroof draining hoses. if they get clogged up ur sunroof will leak into ur car. happened to me when i had an old prelude.

yup, the larger hose is a drain for the sunroof (there is one in each corner of your car) and the second smaller one is a drain for the power antenna, there should be a grommet back there that they stick into, dont let them just hang there or your trunk will fill up with water...actually as long as they are out make sure they are clean also.

Anybody know where the drain tube is for the front driver side?

When it rains it seems like my headliner get's a little damp. It's where the A-piller meets the headliner.

Thanks.

pull up the door sill by carefully pulling straight up, than pull the kick panel off (next to the "dead pedal") by pulling towards the radio, reach in a hole out there and pull the tube out and clean, or open the roof and use compressed air to blow into the holes in each front corner.

I tested my theory by pouring water directly into the top left hole in my sunroof, so I'm pretty sure it's coming from there.

I will try the compressed air.

Thanks.

I have the same problem. You can try sticking a coat hanger down the tube, but make sure you curl over the coathanger end so it won't puncture the rubber tube.
