Focus air conditioning drain pipe is located inside the engine compartment, at the lower right side of the engine compartment, used to drain the condensate water from the air conditioning evaporator. Additional information: 1. Focus sunroof drainage outlet location: At the two corners of the sunroof, directly discharging water to the area below the fender. If the sunroof drainage outlet is blocked, water will flow into the interior headliner after rain. You can use an air gun or thin wire to unclog the pipe, allowing rainwater to drain. 2. The lower end position of the new Focus sunroof drainage pipe is: Located slightly above the middle of the front door. The entrance of the new Focus car sunroof drainage pipe is at the corner of the sunroof guide rail, leading to the A-pillar or C-pillar, and draining out through the tire mudguard. Timely clean the debris in the gaps. Over time, there will be a lot of debris in the grooves at the edges of the sunroof. If not cleaned, it can damage the sunroof guide rails and reduce sealing performance.

I've been driving a Ford Focus for many years, and its drainage holes are mainly located in a few places. The sunroof drainage holes are usually under the sealing strip above the windshield—you can gently lift the strip to see small holes. The door drainage holes are at the bottom inside the door, with small openings to prevent rainwater accumulation. There are sometimes holes at the front of the hood near the wiper area. For cleaning, just use a soft brush or an air pump to blow them out. Regularly check to avoid blockages; otherwise, rainwater may backflow into the car, causing odors or electrical issues. I clean them every three months when washing my car—it's easy and prevents bigger problems. Parking in dry places also helps a lot.

As a DIY-savvy car owner, I'm well aware of the drainage hole design on the Focus. The sunroof drains are located under the windshield edge seal—carefully lift it to access. The door drains sit at the low points inside the door sills, while additional ones may exist near the rear trunk. Always check hose connections for tightness. For clogs, use an air gun to blast debris or gently probe with thin wire to ensure unimpeded water flow. Regular maintenance prevents corrosion and electrical faults from water accumulation. I recommend quarterly cleanings using easily accessible tools like cotton swabs and a water pump. Consult your model's manual online to pinpoint exact locations—it's a quick, minutes-long task.

Driving for a long time, I've encountered many drainage hole issues. The Ford Focus has simple drainage hole locations: the sunroof channel is next to the windshield seal, and doors have small holes at the bottom. Just use a soft brush for cleaning - if clogged, water seepage can cause mold or damage electronics. Regularly test with water spray to detect problems early and avoid unnecessary repair costs. The maintenance manual can help you locate positions more accurately.
