Where is the sunroof drain pipe of the Bora located?

The sunroof drain pipes of the Bora vary by location: 1. The two rear drain pipes are positioned beneath the chassis near the rear wheels; 2. The front drain pipes are located inside the A-pillars on both sides. Taking the Bora 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a trunk capacity of 506 liters. The Bora 2021 is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As a Bora owner, I've personally experienced the issue with sunroof drain tube locations. The Bora's drain tubes are typically installed along the edges of the roof channels on both sides, running down either the A-pillars near the windshield or the C-pillars at the rear. After opening the door, you can gently peel back the rubber seal at the top of the door frame to spot a small plastic tube leading toward the wheel well. Last rainy season, my floor mats suddenly got soaked, and that's when I discovered a clogged tube. Using my phone's flashlight to inspect the sunroof channel, I cleared out some leaves from the drain opening, which solved the problem. Regular maintenance is crucial—especially when parking under trees where debris accumulates, as backflow can ruin your interior. I recommend using a soft brush or dedicated cleaning rod every six months to clear the tubes; avoid wire hangers to prevent scratches. This design is commonly found at the front in Boras, but slight variations exist depending on model years—checking the manual is safer. Remember: prevention beats repairs, so keeping those tubes clear ensures peace of mind.
