A drain trough encircles the sliding panel and leads to the drain hoses. The drain hoses are at each corner of the housing. The 2 front drain hoses route down the windshield pillars. The 2 rear drain hoses route down the rear sail and the quarter panels.

If you encounter a wet headliner or other water leaks, inspect the following areas for the source of the leak:

    • The quarter windows
    • The windshield
    • The rear window

Verify that the drainage system is not plugged or restricted.

  1. Using a 1 pint container, pour water into the drain trough with the sunroof open.
  2. Inspect for water drainage through the holes.
  3. If the water flow is restricted, use compressed air in order to clear the drain system. Do not blow the drain hose away from the housing drain spout.
  4. Retest the system.

If water drips from the headliner above the door or the quarter window, lower the headliner as required in order to inspect for a proper drain tube connection. If necessary, re-tighten the drain tube clamps onto the housing at the drain spout.
