Re: Sunroof drain??

there are four drain tubes, two go back in the trunk, two go towards the front fenders. pull off some of the plastic paneling pieces like the kickpanels and you will see the tube. sometimes it comes loose and just drains into the car floor.

Re: Sunroof drain??

I need some more help, I just got done lookin at my drain tube for my sunroof and it works fine. the foam that is around the tubing is not wet at all, the sides (going up towards the door sills & going from the floor to undernieth the center console) of my carpet is not wet either. My doors nor the dash is wet when it rains so thats why i am confused. where do i go next? Any help would be great.

Re: Sunroof drain??

can you see water coming in anywhere? window seals, door seals, etc? where exactly is wet? you may need to rip up some of the carpet to get a good idea.

Re: Sunroof drain??

I just got done fixing this exact same issue on my coupe. It took me forever to find it. Thought it was the windshield , Cowel , Firewall , ect.. Finally after removing the headliner and doing some test with a water bottle I found that the drain tube from the sunroof on the front drivers side was draining directly onto the floor. Its located on the driver side behind the cruise control box and mounting bracket. The tube exits from the body then connects to a rubber tube that goes back through the body and drains behind the fender. This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen Honda do. Why go through the body back into the cab and back out through the body makes no sense!!! I have since put a hose clamp ($0.35 fix ) on the hoses to keep them together. Hope this helps. I will update with the other photos to show drain spot and hose clamp fix.( I have uploaded a pic here... http://whateversales.com/badapl/drain%20tube.jpg )
