SOURCE: Sunroof Drain Tube

You have to remove the interior trim panels to allow you to pull down the corners of the headliner. Once you can see the sunroof track you will be able to see where the drains attach and hook them back up.

SOURCE: sunroof leaks

Use bicycle spoke or anything similar, pour in some water and thn poke it slowly through the tube and you will feel the choked dust give away, you may need a longer rod kinda thing say a CCM gas weilding rod would work out best as its longer in lenght and about 3mm in diameter.
Hope this helps!

SOURCE: How do i clear water tube drain

Compressed air works great. You will need an attachment on the air line with a 'trigger' to turn air on. Garages and dealers would have this, do you know anyone with a compressor? I've done a couple of times, works great.

How do I fix a leak in my 2016 Caddy Platinum the sunroof wind damper is missing?

All question need full 'year make model' in real words. A Caddy Platinum is a Gold Card for Golf Caddies.

Presumably you mean a 2016 Cadillac Escalade Platinum Edition?

The wind damper, or rather wind deflector pops up at the front of the sunroof to deflect air over the top to stop a drumming noise. Press the deflector down when you are doing 70mph. It has no bearing on leaks. Your problem is almost certainly blocked sunroof drains. The water doesn't drain, pools in the tracks and overflows.

H3 Hummer leaking water into cab.

My 06 H3 was leaking when it rained. It turned out to be the sunroof. There are two drain tubes in thefront of the sunroof that run the water down the corners to the groundand two drain tubes that drain water out the back corners. The waterwould seep around the glass, which is expected, but both of the tubeson the front of mine were plugged, and the water would overflow behindthe dash and fill my floorboards. If my H3 was leaning to the leftduring a storm then the drivers side would be full of water. If leaningright, then the passenger side. I had to open sunroof and blowcompressed air into the drain holes to clear them, but be careful, toomuch pressure will separate tubes from sunroof and then you will have toremove the inside paneling around sunroof to get to tubes andreconnect. You may only have one side plugged. you can test it byopening sunroof and pour a little water in the small catch pan in thefront of the sunroof and see if it drains as expected (to the groundunder the firewall

on left AND right side). You can see the holes in each corner of catchpan to drain the water. Plug one with your finger, then the other tofind the plugged side. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

Sunroof needs adjustment over drivers seat ..leaks

Many fords have some minor adjustments of the roof, the brackets that support the Sunroof or power sunroof have very small Hex nuts you can loosen and shift the sunroof around, if its leaking it could be some other problem such as the drain tubes, there is usually 2 to 4 drains one on each corner that water drains down a tube through each door pillar, check the tube ports in the sunroof catch basin, they could be clogged with old leaves or dirt, run compressed air through each tube and verify at the other end its working.

How does a sunroof drain

It depends on the sunroof (aftermarket or OEM) it also depends on the particular year, make and model of the vehicle we are talking about. Some sunroofs are sealed in such a fashion that they do not need drains. Others have rain channels and tubing that runs down either the "B" pillars or the "C" pillars in the vehicle. On the ones that have plastic drain tubes, you can usually see the ends of the tubes sticking out under the vehicle

Where do the sunroof drain tubes exit this vehicle?

There are a total of four drains, two front, two rear. The front drains empty out inside of each front door jam. The rear drains empty out inside of the rear bumper. If you drain holes are clogged, use an air compressor to unclog not other as you may either break the drain tube or wack it out of place. I believe there is a technical service bulletin for Grand Prix sunroof mdels 1998-2005, In your sunroof leaks, contact your dealer for more info. Take care and hopes this works for you.

Where do sunroof drains goto . Sunroof leaks runs inside seatbelt wall to floor

Hi! Sunroof should be sealed and theres no drain to go anywhere unless the rubber sealant is worn. That may be the reason it leaks on the seatbelt wall. You will need to have the sealant replaced. Hope this helps and have a good one!
