Where are the sunroof drainage holes located on the Jeep Compass?
2 Answers
The sunroof drainage holes are located at the two corners of the sunroof where there are small openings, and then there are rubber tubes descending from the door frame hinges at the front. If you cannot locate them, you can slowly pour a bottle of mineral water and observe the direction of the water flow to spot the drainage holes. The sunroof drainage structure is not complicated, consisting of hard plastic and rubber drainage tubes, with the path running inside the A-pillar. Below is relevant information: Sunroof: A car sunroof is installed on the roof and effectively promotes air circulation inside the vehicle, increasing the intake of fresh air. It also provides a broader view and meets the needs of mobile photography and videography. Note: Open the sunroof in traffic jams to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the car. During traffic jams, all vehicles are at a standstill, and car exhaust will inevitably spread in the air. Opening the sunroof and closing the side windows will expel the exhaust inside the car and, through the car's air conditioning filter, complete the exchange of fresh air.
The drainage holes of the Jeep Compass sunroof are typically located at the four corners of the sunroof glass, specifically in the small corners of the sunroof sliding channel: the front left, front right, rear left, and rear right corners. Each hole is connected to a thin tube that extends from the roof to the A-pillar area of the door or the floor outlet. Many car owners often overlook these areas, especially when daily parking leads to the accumulation of leaves and dust, which can easily clog the drainage holes. Once blocked, rainwater may backflow into the car, soaking and damaging the seats or electronic systems. Therefore, I recommend checking these holes every six months by lifting the sunroof cover and gently clearing them with a thin wire or professional cleaning tool to ensure they remain unobstructed. If you can't locate them yourself, you can listen for the sound of water flow near the car's floor mats or open the engine compartment to inspect the corresponding pipes. If necessary, visit a professional shop for maintenance to prevent unexpected leaks and avoid skyrocketing repair costs.
