How many sunroof drainage outlets does the 2011 Teana have?
3 Answers
Nissan Teana's sunroof has drainage outlets at all four corners. There are two in the front, usually located inside the A-pillars, and two in the rear, inside the C-pillars. Reasons for sunroof leakage: When the sunroof is open, the grooves of the window frame are exposed and can easily accumulate dust and debris. Over time, this can block the sunroof drainage outlets, leading to leakage. Regular cleaning of the sunroof grooves is recommended. Sunroof maintenance methods: Regular cleaning with fine talcum powder can extend the lifespan of the sealing rings. The moving parts of the sunroof are made of low-maintenance materials and should be cleaned periodically with oil or lubricant. It is advisable to clean the mechanical parts every two months.
I've been driving a 2011 Teana for many years, and it has four sunroof drainage outlets located at each corner of the roof: front left, front right, rear left, and rear right. Those small holes are connected to hoses that direct rainwater outside the car. Last time it rained, one of them got clogged, and water leaked into the car, soaking the seats. It took me half a day to clean up. Since then, I've been using compressed air to blow through the pipes every quarter to ensure they stay clear. Regular maintenance also helps prevent rust and extends the sunroof's lifespan. I suggest you try it too, so small issues don’t turn into big ones. Also, keeping a cloth in the car to wipe the edges of the sunroof helps prevent debris from getting inside.
From the perspective of sunroof structural design, the 2011 Teana comes standard with 4 drainage outlets positioned to cover all corners of the roof. Their function is to channel rainwater away, preventing accumulation that could lead to corrosion or mold. Once clogged, water may seep into the interior, resulting in costly electrical repairs. Having dealt with similar malfunctions, I found that using a flexible wire to clear the channels is quite effective. Spending a few minutes checking before the rainy season to ensure unobstructed drainage is a wise preventive measure. Additionally, avoiding parking under trees reduces leaf debris entry.
