Where is the sunroof drain hole located on the Jeep Compass?
1 Answers
The sunroof drain holes are located at the two corners of the sunroof where there are small holes, and then there are rubber tubes running down near the front door hinge. If you can't find them, you can slowly pour some bottled water and observe the flow direction to locate the drain holes. The sunroof drainage structure is not complicated. The basic reasons for leaks are as follows: 1. The sunroof outlet is blocked by debris: This prevents rainwater from draining out, causing it to gradually seep into the car. The solution is very simple—just clear the sunroof drainage channel. Generally, you can open the sunroof, pour some water into the drainage channel, and check if water flows out under the front tires. If water flows out, the outlet is clear. Alternatively, you can clean the outlet with a towel to ensure rainwater drains smoothly to the ground. 2. The sunroof seal is damaged: This causes poor edge sealing, allowing rainwater to enter the car. For a damaged sunroof seal, you need to replace it with a new one. This process is quite complex, requiring the removal of both the front and rear sunroof glass panels, then carefully adhering the new seal around the edges of the vehicle. This requires some technical skill. 3. Gaps in the sunroof frame: This allows rainwater to seep into the car, usually occurring during heavy rain. Applying some sealant to the sunroof frame can help, but it's quite challenging. If the vehicle is still under warranty, the most straightforward solution is to replace the entire sunroof frame, though this is very complex.
