Where is the rear sunroof drain hole located on the old Sagitar?

The rear sunroof drain holes on the old Sagitar are typically located inside the vehicle's A-pillars and C-pillars. Below is detailed information about the drain holes on the old Sagitar: Description 1: When water enters the sunroof channel, it flows to the drain holes and is then discharged outside the vehicle through the drain tubes. Description 2: Sunroof drain outlets are generally concealed, and their positions vary depending on the vehicle model. Even during routine maintenance, professionals at 4S shops may easily overlook them. Description 3: If the sunroof leaks, check whether the drain outlets are clogged with dust. There are no special requirements for the daily maintenance of a car sunroof; simply inspect the surrounding seals for damage periodically and check the lubrication condition of the tracks.
As a decade-long owner of an old Sagitar, I'm all too familiar with the location of the sunroof drain holes. The rear drain holes are located at the left and right corners of the rear roof section – you'll need to open the sunroof to spot the two small openings. The drainage tubes run internally along the C-pillars all the way down to the undercarriage, with their exits concealed above the rear wheel arches. Last rainy season, I experienced a clog that caused water leakage into the trunk. Upon inspection, I found the exit was blocked by decomposed leaves. Now during every car wash, I routinely check these spots, using a thin wire to gently clear any mud buildup at the drain exits to prevent blockages. I recommend periodically inspecting these areas, especially after parking under trees – that's when they need extra attention.
Over the years working at the auto repair shop, I've dealt with numerous Sagitar sunroof drainage issues. On older Sagitar models, the rear drainage holes are located at the corners on both sides of the sunroof rear section, with drainage tubes running down along the C-pillar inner lining, exiting at the chassis beneath the front of the rear wheels. The most common issue I've found during repairs is the outlet end getting clogged with road sludge - you can spot the small tube opening near the rear wheels by squatting down with a flashlight. Just last week, a customer had trunk water accumulation due to a blocked outlet, and we found moldy pipes after removing the C-pillar trim. My personal recommendation is to clean it quarterly - using an air gun to blow upward from the outlet works best, but be careful not to disconnect the hose during the process.
