The 4 drain holes of the Tiggo 5 sunroof are located at the A-pillar and C-pillar positions of the vehicle. In addition, the car also has air conditioning drain holes, engine compartment drain holes, door drain holes, fuel tank drain holes, and exhaust pipe drain holes. Introduction to the Tiggo 5: Exterior: The Chery Tiggo 5 has an overall length of 4506mm, which is significantly larger than the previous generation Tiggo, especially in width, reaching 1841mm, providing very spacious passenger space. The extended flared fender design gives a strong sense of power, paired with the forward-leaning waistline, even when stationary, the vehicle exudes a sense of eagerness to move. Powertrain: The Tiggo 5 is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 139 horsepower (102 kW) at 5750 rpm and a peak torque of 182 N·m at 4500 rpm, featuring a DVVT intake and exhaust variable valve timing system. It is paired with a CVT transmission that can simulate 7 speeds.
As a long-time owner of the Tiggo 5, I remember the sunroof drainage holes are located at the four corners of the sunroof track: front left, front right, rear left, and rear right. Specifically, when you open the sunroof, you can clearly see small holes at the end of each corner's guide rail, about the size of a pencil lead. These holes connect directly to hoses that drain water to the underside of the car—a clever design to prevent rainwater from pooling inside. Once, I neglected to clean them, and the openings got clogged with dust. After rain, water seeped through the headliner into the cabin, causing the seats to mildew. Since then, I check them every quarter, using compressed air to gently blow out the channels. Clearing the debris is quick and easy. Once you know their locations, you avoid a lot of trouble. Making it a habit brings peace of mind.
While helping a friend repair their car, I had the opportunity to work with the sunroof system of a Tiggo 5. The drainage holes are located at the four endpoints of the sunroof frame: the front left corner, front right corner, rear left corner, and rear right corner. The operation is straightforward—simply open the sunroof to directly see these tiny holes, which are connected to rubber tubes that channel water outward. If left uncleaned for an extended period, debris like leaves and mud can clog the holes, leading to poor drainage. This can result in water seeping into the interior or causing electrical shorts, which is not worth the risk. Practical advice: first, wipe the edges of the drainage channels with a soft cloth, then gently clear any blockages using a thin wire, avoiding excessive force to prevent pipe damage. These components are generally durable, but regular maintenance is key.
