Title: sunroof rear drain orifices
Post by november_man on Aug 1^st, 2010, 11:41am

dear readers, before I get the pozidrive out, does anybody know the actual position of the rear drain holes for the sunroof and their exit point. as a result of the recent heavy deluges of rain, water is not draining from the sunroof area and is shipping in at the top of the passenger side centre door pillar above the seatbelt anchorage point . the front drain holes are immediately visible. I have introduced water down them via a funnel and a plastic tube , the water eventually draining out in the sill area. thanking you in anticipation

You could try pushing a curtain wire down the hole, but there is a crud trap at the end of the drain which you might dislodge.
On the saloon on the offside the pipe pushes into the crud trap which pushes into a hole in the air outlet moulding behind the boot lining near the filler cap. On the near side it’s behind the CD changer – can’t remember if it goes into the air outlet on that side.

thank you for that. as a matter of interest I already tried the wire, all eight foot of it ! never appeared externally. the tube must be like an intestine

The front pipes go into the front of the sill of all places,as Tompion says the back ones surface in the air outlet boxes behind the side of the bumper.
GOZZ.

I believe the Granada had the same set up regarding rear sunroof drains.
Luckily enough I have some pics of them from my old 4x4.
