It is raining hard here in NY and once again I have 2" behind the drivers seat. This after I cleaned the drain in the engine compartment and used silicone caulk on all the windows. I have a manual sunroof, Is it possibly leaking through there? If so how can I detect it and repair. Thanks, The veh .is a 85 tdt.

There should be drains in the sunroof somewhere. My wife's Escort was leaking behind the headliner and collecting on the rear floor. We used high pressure air and blew out the drain holes in the sunroof. No leaks now.

I looked for drains but was unable to find any. Anyone know where they are?

I have the same problem.. but water is leaking into the rear passenger floorwell. This is probably coming from the drains under the hood in my car.. but I don't exactly know where they are.

Can someone please post pictures of the drains here? It'd be a great help to all of us, since this isn't the first time people have had these issues. Stupid rain..

On my sedan, the drains are small holes in the sunroof frame integral with the roof. In the rear, these drains are connected to good sized rubber hoses (about 17mm OD) that travel down the inside of the rear pillars and pass through a hole in the body on ahorizontal surface just above the very front of the rear bumper and just inside of the quarter panel surface.

listen, look, .........and duck.

weedwacker line ...stick into drain and push/pull/probe until clear...run water and repeat until flow is good to the ground...repeat yearly.
