Where are the sunroof drain pipes located on the Touareg?
2 Answers
The Touareg sunroof has a total of 4 drain pipes, each extending into the four wheel arches of the vehicle. They pass through the A-pillars above them and lead to the water diversion channels below the front windshield. Here's an extended introduction: 1. Exterior features: Dynamic bumper side guards, multi-mode opening electric tailgate, electrically adjustable and folding exterior mirrors, 65% light-absorbing and heat-insulating glass for rear windows, and a two-piece panoramic sunroof. 2. Interior features: 14-way power-adjustable seats, user-friendly cup holder design, leather-wrapped gear shift knob, leather multifunction steering wheel, independent center armrest, and a dual-layer sun visor to protect passengers from direct sunlight.
When I first drove the Touareg, I was also curious about where the sunroof drain tubes were located. It wasn't until I asked an experienced driver that I learned they're hidden inside the four pillars of the roof. To be specific, there are thin tubes connected to the sunroof on the inner sides of the A-pillars near the front seats and the C-pillars near the rear seats, with one on each side. These tubes extend downward and exit along the edges of the vehicle's underbody, typically near the wheel wells. Once, after washing my car, I found water leaking inside—turns out the drain outlet in the A-pillar was clogged with leaves. I just used a thin wire to poke it clear. It's a good habit to regularly check these spots to prevent debris buildup, as blocked drains can cause rainwater to back up into the cabin, leading to expensive repairs and potential damage to electronic components. A simple routine cleaning of these areas can save you hassle and keep things safe.
