Hey guys, just picked up a loaded 06 2LT a couple weeks back and I love it. I'm having zero problems and want to keep it that way. SO my question is - where is the drain for the sunroof? I know people who have had sunroofs before, and they tell me if you don't keep the drain clear your car will flood. And once I find the drain, what's the best way to clean it without damaging anything?

Thanks for everything.

 

Can't help on the location, but that is generally true about sunroof's. Drains get clogged the water comes in.

 

To find where the front drains are which you can see in the front corners of the sunroof when open ( don't know if there are rear ones). Easiest way to find them is stand by the side of the car and look at the gap between the door and the fender. There is a ridge line on the fender (where the lower flat section then curves to the top of the fender) right at the top of the tire opening, and follow that to the gap. Almost directly in from that spot you will see what looks likes a rubber grommet about 1" in dia. and a small hole in the center, that is the drain hole. Same on the other side. If you have either front door open, then below the top hinge there is the large wire boot and in front (towards the front of the car) of that is the drain hole which is hard to see. But if you pour just a little water into the sunroof trough in the front you will see the water come out the opening there between the fender and door. Now to find a 3-4 foot pipe cleaner and that would do clean it out. Compressed air would work if you can get a flex rubber hose to be able to insert into the lower drain hole and blow it back towards the sunroof. Blowing compressor air or a long cleaning rod down from the top could pack any gunk in tighter and really clog it. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try.

What about using a can of computer duster air to blow throught the drain?

 

an08HHR - MUCH appreciated, thanks for the help. So far so good with my sunroof...and I'd like to keep it that way. The pics definitely help.

 

yes there is 4 drains one in each corner as i just pulled a sunroof car apart, also the tubes are very long and have alot of bends so they may get plugged pretty easy but thats also were u park, wil post pics soon if u want , dirt,trees,ect

 

Pictures would be great, thanks. What do you feel is the best way to clean/unclog them?

 

Compressed air.
