Where are the sunroof drainage holes located on the Renault Kadjar?
2 Answers
The sunroof drainage holes on the Renault Kadjar are located around the sunroof. They can be seen upon opening the sunroof, typically positioned at the four corners. Vehicle drainage locations: In front of the engine compartment, inside the four small corners of the windows, at the very bottom of the front and rear doors. There are also drainage holes inside the fuel tank cap, at the bottom of the trunk and spare tire, as well as in the gaps between the lights and the body. Drainage hole precautions: If the owner has not frequently used the sunroof, the likelihood of all four drainage holes being blocked is low, and even one blocked hole is usually not enough to cause water to seep into the cabin. Most water ingress is due to leaks through rubber seals. Damp interior panels are a sign of blocked sunroof drainage holes, and detached sunroof drainage tubes can also cause interior panels to become damp. A damp interior not only produces unpleasant mildew odors but also fosters bacterial growth.
I've been driving the Renault Kadjar for three years, and the sunroof drain holes are something you need to pay special attention to! They're located near the upper sides of the front windshield, close to the A-pillars. If you look carefully along the edge of the windshield seal, you'll find a small semicircular hole—that's it. There are also two drain holes at the rear, inside the wheel arches near the lower end of the C-pillars. Last time, my rear drain got clogged, and the trunk carpet was completely soaked. Remember to check them every quarter, especially during autumn when there are more fallen leaves. Use a small soft-bristle brush to clear out dead leaves and mud from the drainage channels. The easiest method is to gently blow them out with an air gun or flush them with water using a plastic tube attached to a syringe. If it still leaks, the tube inside might have come loose, and you should quickly go to a shop to unclog or replace it.
