Where is the sunroof drain outlet located on the Geely Vision?
2 Answers
The sunroof drain outlets on the Geely Vision are located at the four corners of the sunroof. They are easily visible when the sunroof is opened, appearing as four small holes, each connected to a hose that leads to the front and rear of the vehicle. Consequences of a clogged sunroof drain outlet: If the sunroof drain hole becomes blocked, water can accumulate and flow along the roof towards the sunroof motor inside the vehicle. When powered on, this can cause the sunroof motor to short-circuit or even burn out. Methods for cleaning the drain outlet: Initial blockages usually occur at the entrance of the drain hole, which is easily visible and accessible when the sunroof is opened, making it simple to clean by yourself. Over time, debris may travel further into the drain hose, making it more difficult to clear. In such cases, it is advisable to seek professional assistance for unclogging.
About those sunroof drain outlets, I actually got hands-on experience when cleaning my Vision last time. There are tubes hidden in all four corners – the front two run down along the A-pillars. Just lift the hood and peek under the edge trims to spot them. The rear ones are more sneaky, requiring you to pry open the side trunk panels to locate them. Eventually, the water squirts out near the rear wheel liners. Those tiny plastic nozzles clog ridiculously easily – I once unclogged one using a bicycle brake cable. Pro tip: pinch the base of the rubber hose while poking to avoid dislodging it, or you might end up dismantling the headliner... now that’s a real headache.
