Drain pipe location of sunroof?? does anyone know?
I had a leak from my sunroof and when i checked for drain pipes and i found where the front ones are but not sure if there are any in the back and thats where major water is coming from. Does anyone know where the drain pipes are located in the rear or are there any?? I park on the slope where my front faces up so the water goes towards the back. Please help...

You need to get a picture of the front drain pipes. I have no idea what your talking about with the sunroof. If it is set up right (which is should be) then it should just seal right and not need anything. You might want to try some silicone around the seal and see if that helps.
Do this as if you were adding thickness to the edge of the seal. Open the sunroof, and add a bead to the edge, let it sit open to dry (24 hours or so) and that should help some.

I've seen rear drain tubes on my car and assumed they were for my sunroof. Check under your car, right behind the rear tires. You'll see a tube coming from the body underneath the car just to the back of the rear tires (one on each side). You can't miss them when looking from the rear of the car towards your back tires. I don't know where the other end to these tubes are...

there are four drains, and the rear ones tend to get clogged. i checked my service records and i see that twice my car had been taken to the dealership and pine needles were removed from the rear drains. i think they're clogged again actually, b/c sometimes if i park the car facing uphill when it rains, water will spill onto my lap when i start driving. it sucks, so until i get around to taking the roof out to clean it, i just have to park the car facing downhill.
