2 Answers
The panoramic sunroof drainage holes on the Sonata VIII are located on both front sides of the sunroof drainage channel. Below is relevant information about the Sonata VIII: 1. Current sales: The eighth-generation Sonata is the most popular mid-to-high-end sedan globally. In the U.S., its average monthly sales over 15 months since launch reached 19,532 units, with sales exceeding 20,000 units per month since March. In China, the eighth-generation Sonata achieved sales of 12,319 units within just two months of its launch. 2. Dynamic beauty: Fluidic Sculpture, dynamic beauty. The new "Fluidic Sculpture" design concept showcases streamlined and coupe-like "dynamic beauty." The luxurious large panoramic sunroof features a three-panel design to maximize interior visibility. The front end includes an added wind deflector design, effectively reducing wind noise generated by the sunroof.
I've been driving the Sonata VIII for a long time and I'm very familiar with the location of the panoramic sunroof drainage holes, which are at the four corners of the sunroof. The front two are near the windshield on both sides, close to the A-pillars, and the rear two are near the rear windshield around the C-pillars. Last time I noticed the sunroof was leaking, it was because the drainage holes were clogged with leaves and dust. I used a thin wire to slowly clear them out myself. The location isn't hard to find—just lift the wheel arch cover or open the hood and carefully feel for the tubes. I recommend checking them monthly and avoiding parking under trees, as rain can easily cause debris to accumulate and clog the holes. If water leaks into the car, it can wet the seats and create a foul odor, affecting your driving experience. Regular maintenance can extend the sunroof's lifespan and save you money on repairs at the shop.
