Sunroof drain tubes
Just got a 2002 Connie with a sunroof (never had a sunroof before on a 75). Noticed a strange pipe in rear nearside boot trim and pulled it out to take a look, not realising what it was.......the drain tube for the sunroof apparently. I can't work out why it is ribbed, but thats another question. The thing is, I've pushed it back behind the trim in the boot, but I have no idea how it should go behind there or whether its put back correctly to avoid water ending up in the boot. Can anyone offer advice here please?

front sunroof drain tubes
I think I have a blocked front passenger side drain tube; there was water on the mat after heavy rain. I have done the mod with a bit of garden hose and a hose fitting from Halfords as mentioned in another post but have been searching for where the tube should be on the passenger side! I have identified the plenum drain tubes and the condensate tubes for thew A/C (complete with hibernating ladybirds) but see no sign of the drain tube. Question? Is it a similar place to the drivers side but opposite hand? Thanks.

This is always worth a look
This should be a standard ref for anyone with a Sunroof .
Go to https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=118622 One of many splendid articles by Arctic and I took it on board. All the best. |

you can clean the drain pipes using somthing thin and flexible like a thin bit of electrical wire but need to be careful not to push the drain pipe off the sunroof
drain points. As the plastic pipes get older they become loose where they push onto the barbed sunroof drain points. I ended up siliconing them on. |
