Where is the sunroof drain outlet located on a Volvo?
2 Answers
Volvo's sunroof drain outlets are small holes located at the two corners of the sunroof. If the sunroof drain holes become clogged, here are some solutions: 1. First, you can use an air gun: Aim the air gun at the sunroof drain holes and blow air to remove the dirt inside. When doing this, use a towel to catch the dirt to avoid soiling the car. 2. Second, you can use a syringe: Inject water into the drain holes to flush out the dirt and prevent clogging. The sunroof is quite important for a car as it provides ventilation for passengers. Frequent use of the sunroof may cause it to produce unusual noises, so it's essential to clean the dust on the sunroof promptly when using it.
Last time I cleaned the sunroof drain holes of my Volvo XC60, I noticed the outlets were located near the wheel arches close to the undercarriage, specifically with tiny holes beneath the A-pillar and C-pillar. Blockages can cause rainwater to backflow into the cabin, soaking the carpets and leading to rust. I just used a thin wire to gently clear them—no excessive force to avoid damaging the tubes. It’s good to check before the rainy season and clear out leaves or debris to prevent issues. Like most cars, the drain holes are quite hidden, but you can spot them by looking under the chassis corners. Keeping them clear saves a lot of hassle and avoids repair costs.
