Sunroof drain , help please. - Page 2

On the saloon they drain at the rear of the rear wheel arch.

I inspected mine and they weren't blocked, so I wouldn't worry about them.

The fronts must do most of the work.

One of those portable de-humidifiers are great for taking up the water.
I had a problem with my Vectra a few years back and plugged the de humidifier in overnight for a few nights and it dried it out completely.

More recently we have been getting some plasterwork done in the house and it's unbelievable just how much water they soak up.

They certainly do work

I set up in the utility a dehumifier a small fan, just to keep the air moving and several lines to hang washing. Rather than running the drier to dry clothes, she now just hangs it up overnight with the above running, next morning all dry. The demifier was drawing so much water out, that I had to add a permanent drain for it rather than let it run into its built-in tank.

Moving the air around with the fan makes a great difference to the speed of drying.

If there is a rear sunroof drainhole- any idea where it leads?

My ZT-T has a sunroof

Rear ones pop out through the rear wheel arch behind the liner

Recently discovered the O/S/R one on the tourer had unplugged itself & was draining into the PDC ECU which has now ceased to function in the correct manner
