The sunroof drain pipes of the X-Trail are located inside the A-pillars and C-pillars of the vehicle. The X-Trail is a compact SUV under Dongfeng Nissan, with exterior dimensions of 4675mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1722mm in height, a wheelbase of 2706mm, and a minimum ground clearance of 208mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a CVT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 111 kW and a maximum torque of 194 Nm, with a top speed of 183 km/h. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
I remember the first time I looked for the X-Trail's sunroof drain tubes, they were near the four corners of the roof, specifically on the inner side of the A-pillar and C-pillar areas. If you open the car door and look down at the edge of the door frame, you'll see small holes connected to thin tubes—those are the drain tube outlets, which lead to the underside of the car to prevent rainwater accumulation. I've checked them many times; once these tubes get clogged, water can easily backflow into the cabin, soaking the carpets or even damaging electronic components. So, whenever I wash my car, I take the opportunity to clean them by blowing or sucking out debris with a thin hose inserted into the drain holes. Honestly, checking them once a season can prevent major issues, especially before the rainy season when maintenance is crucial. Keeping the tubes clear is simple and helps prolong your car's lifespan.
