2 Answers
The drainage outlets on the Tiguan are typically located inside the A-pillars and C-pillars of the vehicle. Below is detailed information about the Tiguan: 1. Overview: The Volkswagen Tiguan is a vehicle produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with its price announced on March 26, 2010. The compact Tiguan SUV was launched in 2009. Shanghai Volkswagen offers four versions of the Tiguan with a total of seven models: Urban, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline. 2. Features: Compared to its prototype, the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Tiguan's length has been increased by 68mm, and its wheelbase reaches 2684mm, placing it in the upper-middle level among its peers, aimed at meeting the usage needs of Chinese consumers. The luggage compartment volume ranges from 400 to 1530 liters.
I've been driving my Tiguan for ten years, and I remember the drainage hole locations clearly. The sunroof drainage holes are generally at the bottom of the vehicle—look for small holes near the sunroof rails that lead to the underbody outlets. The door drainage holes are along the bottom edge of the door; gently lift the door seam to see small grooves that allow rainwater to drain smoothly. There are similar small holes in the trunk area, especially near the rear bumper. The engine compartment drainage hole is usually in the groove below the windshield, where debris like leaves can easily accumulate and clog. I recommend checking them before each rainy season, using an air gun to blow them out or a small stick to clear any blockages, preventing water buildup that could cause rust or mold. The Tiguan is well-designed, but neglecting maintenance can lead to issues, especially if the sunroof clogs and leaks into the cabin, which can be a hassle to repair. It's something you can handle yourself—just be observant and careful.
