Sunroof drain driver's side
Anyone taken these off, I had a leak seat and drivers mat wet, water seemed to be coming from inside the a pillar. There wasn't too much water after I dried it out water was still dripping very slowly out of the side of the dash by the door seal (the panel gap) above the boot release switch. Anyone had this before.

Anyone know how long the drain is ? Started leaking again today pocked through about 1 foot but nothing came out(gunk wise), some water dripped out from the front wheels but slowly.

I wouldn't poke through the drain. Apparently it can do more damage. What you need to do is get into the wheel arches and unblock the end, or better still cut off the stupid end.
Work I did yesterday : The sunroof drains were barly working. I took the side panel off the drivers side. It looks like the drain pipe had come out a little, so I have sealed it. Passenger side looked dry, and more diffcult to get at. Had a look in the wheel arches and Rover/BMW have used those stupid duck bill seals on the end and they were blocked. So I have trimmed the end off them like you do with the others. The roof now drains much better. Before After Tested it with a hose pipe and can't see any leaks yet. Now I just need to dry under the carpet. |

You said you took off the drivers panel, do you mean the wing?

No the interior panels.
The panel with the bonnet & bonnet release. The panel above the pedals. You need to release the wheel arch liner from the bottom to get to the drains in the 2 & 3 pics. |
