Where is the sunroof drain located?
2 Answers
The sunroof drains are located inside the vehicle's A-pillars and C-pillars. The functions of a sunroof are: 1. Effectively ventilate the interior and increase fresh air intake; 2. Provide an open view and meet the shooting requirements for mobile photography. The sunroof is installed on the roof and can be opened by: rotating the sunroof switch button. There are several types of car sunroofs: built-in sunroofs, pop-up sunroofs, and panoramic sunroofs. Maintenance methods include: 1. Clean the sunroof drainage channel promptly and regularly wipe the sunroof rails with a damp sponge; 2. Apply silicone oil to the sunroof seal after washing the car to effectively prevent aging of the rubber seal and extend its service life.
I've been driving for ten years and often take care of the sunroof drainage issue myself. The sunroof drainage outlets are usually located at the four corners of the roof, such as near the A-pillars on both sides of the windshield and the C-pillar positions on either side of the rear window. The drainage outlets are small holes connected to a thin tube that leads to the bottom of the car to drain rainwater. If they get clogged, water can accumulate in the tracks, causing leaks into the car, and the carpet may get wet and even moldy. Every time I wash my car, I use a toothbrush to clean the holes, and once a year, I use compressed air to blow out the tubes to prevent blockages. The locations aren't hard to find—just shine a light into the holes or feel along the edge of the roof to notice the grooves. After it rains, check if there's any water pooling under the sunroof to catch issues early.
