The sunroof drain outlets on the new Jetta are located at the A-pillar and C-pillar positions. Introduction to car sunroof drain outlets: The location of sunroof drain outlets may vary depending on the vehicle model. Generally, sunroof drain holes are positioned at the A-pillar and C-pillar of the car. The sunroof is installed on the roof to effectively circulate air inside the vehicle and increase fresh air intake. It also provides a broader view and meets mobile photography/videography needs. Car sunroofs can be roughly categorized into: sliding-out type, built-in type, built-in flip-up type, panoramic type, and curtain type. Solutions for clogged sunroof drain outlets: 1. Use an air gun: Direct the air gun at the sunroof drain hole to blow out debris. Use a towel to catch the debris to avoid dirtying the car. 2. Use a syringe: Inject water into the drain hole to flush out debris and unclog the drain.
I've been driving the new Jetta for three years, and the sunroof drainage outlets are hidden in the corners at the front of the roof, near the windshield. I always check these small holes after washing the car because once they're clogged, rainwater can backflow into the car and soak the seats. The exact location is at the top of the A-pillar—you can see several small holes when you open the sunroof. I usually clean them gently with a soft brush. If not addressed in time, water can seep under the carpet, causing mold and affecting the air conditioning system. I recommend checking them every quarter to avoid a last-minute scramble when leaks occur. I learned this the hard way, spending unnecessary money on interior repairs, but now I've developed a simple and worry-free habit of regular maintenance.
