| Rear Sunroof drain holes? |
|
Can anybody point me in the right direction for the rear sunroof drain tubes. I've found the front ones after reading Gareths very helpful post - but the rears are not mentioned. Anyone help?

remove the rear trim by undoing the safety belt torx screw and the phillips screw above it. pull the trim away from the pillar and the tube can be seen to the right of the "phillips screw" on the RHS and left on the LHS. it may be crimped by the phillips screw as it runs very close. the tubes can be seperated at the bottom just before it disapears into the wheel arch so you can blow/poke something through to clear it Duncan

easiest way is to pull down the rear wheel arch liner, you can see the ends poking through then, make sure the nipples fitted on the ends are free, you can trim a bit from the ends, to enlarge the hole slightly.

Just to confirm the tubes run down behind the panel containg the rear seat belt fixing?
I had this off today and have found the tube but can't see were it has a joint to clean?
There was only one tube.
So i have been unable to poke through to clean it. Is it a case of pulling the tube upwards from inside the car and then disconecting a joint??

the tube joins right at the bottom. the top tube pushes IN to the bottom piece which is a 90degree bend. I havnt pushed anything down it as I havnt had a problem but it did come unplugged when i was feeding power cables through. If i had a problem i would connect an airline to it and give it a low pressure blast. Duncan

Thanks Duncan - I will try at first light!
Any thought on the bulkhead seal leak theory? I've seen it mentioned on here briefly and on some US LR3 forums.
AI think its a grommet on the back of the battery box that I should check.

I cleared both of the rear tubes.
I then left the hose pipe on the car for 20 minutes. I opened the door and spotted water coming from underneath the dash!!!!
I lowered the bottom glove box and saw water dripping from the polen filter housing.
It seems that water is etting in to the pollen filter and then dripping out of the housing into the passenger footwell.
I put some silicone sealant around the casing of the housing - but I still seem to have a water dripping from behind the filter housing. Its coming from further up inside the dash I think?
