Moonroof Drain Holes

Post by 1starshot » Thu Nov 10, 2022 1:10 pm

Hi, I'm having terrible trouble with rain water leaking into my 1997 probe 2.0 through moonroof, The drain holes on inside gutter are blocked & car is getting absolutely soaked, headliner, seats, carpets everything. I have tried to locate drain holes to unplug but cannot find them. Anybody know where to precisely look for them? I do not have a covered parking place for car & it's starting to suffer with water, damp & mould will soon take hold. Cheers.

There all four corners of the sunroof, they drain out( front )behind the plastic wheel arch insert covers
the rear, to the rear arch behind the bumper,to unblock use a bit of 2.5mm cable and push through
or use a pressure washer or airline

If you remove the ‘A’ & ‘C’ pillar plastic covers, & the sun visors, you can get to the top of the tubes, where they are joined to the sun roof tray

Thanks Kit,
I was trying with stripped copper wire bent at 90 degree for last inch thinking they would be draining straight down. Took sun visor & plastic cover off passenger side & saw position & angle, not what I was expecting, decided not to pull tube off as very tight fit. Cleared with straight piece of wire & didn't have to disassemble drivers side as I knew where to poke wire. Car interior drying nicely. Cheers.
Paul.

One ‘trick’ is to take the pipe off the sun roof tray.
& squirt a washing bottle full of water down the tube.
Then watch it flood out under the wing :idea:
