Front drains on sunroof replace
Hi has anyone replaces the front passenger side sunroof drain?
I know it can be a bit tricky but I have time and a socket set.
Any photos would be helpful.
Also would anyone know where the rear drains are so I can check them.
Thanks All

Lots of info on this forum.
This topic covers most of what you'll need. Have done the job myself and contributed my knowledge, sources and experience to this particular topic.
Cheers

It's not to bad a job, with the comfort of having done it now
I was reluctant to remove the cjb and instead removed the front wing which is a doddle to do. I taped the new pipe to the old and in the A pillar and pulled it through and then connected the elbow and pushed it back into place. In hindsight all my drain pipes were in good nick with just he elbows having rotted out.
So if you have big hands and don't want the grief with the cjb, take the wing off
Good luck

Well done
Thanks that’s a thought how did you attach the pipes together?
Is the pipe easy to access from the outside (so to speak)?

I used a plastic bit of tube bought from ebay that is used for joining hoses. Push fit together in the 'A' pillar having pulled the old tube through the hole in the chassis using a pair of long nose pliers and a good grip so that it does not fall inside.
Having read reports of owners spending 3-4 hours trying to access the cjb I reckon an hour to remove & replace wing is a easier proposition, for me anyway.
