Where is the drainage hole for the Skoda Kodiaq sunroof located?

Skoda Kodiaq sunroof drainage holes are generally located at the front of the sunroof, specifically near the two corners close to the windshield, where pipes connect to the U-shaped channel below the windshield. Typically, sunroof drainage outlets are positioned at all four corners of the car's sunroof, allowing rainwater to drain out through the A-pillar and C-pillar areas. For precise details, you can also refer to the vehicle's user manual. Below are some advantages of a car sunroof: 1. Cooling: A sunroof can cool the interior of the car faster than air conditioning. As the car moves, negative pressure forms on the roof, drawing out hot air from inside, thereby achieving rapid cooling. Experimental data shows that sunroof cooling is 2-3 times faster than air conditioning. 2. Ventilation: When the car is moving at high speeds, air flows quickly around the sunroof. Opening the sunroof creates a negative pressure zone on the roof, which helps expel stale air from the cabin when the pressure inside and outside the car differs. This ensures fresh air circulation while avoiding the increased fuel consumption associated with opening side windows at high speeds. 3. Assisting in defogging: When there is a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, condensation can form on the windows, particularly the windshield, impairing visibility. Opening the sunroof to the rear-ventilation position can quickly clear fog from the windshield.
The sunroof has drainage holes at all four corners. You can see the small round holes at both ends of the tracks when the sunroof is opened. The front two are easiest to find – when the sunroof is fully open, look for coin-sized holes near the grooves at the edges of the tracks with a flashlight. The rear ones are located inside the C-pillar trim panels; you'll need to squat down and look up from outside the car near the wheel position to spot them around the windshield seal. Last time I cleared clogged holes myself, I noticed the front drain tubes run down the A-pillars to behind the front wheel fenders, while the rear drain tubes are hidden in the door seals and lead to the area above the rear wheel arches. Remember not to use wire – cutting half a straw and sharpening it to gently clear the blockage is the safest method.
