Sunroof drains...more tips...

[Woodtick]

Down poring rain,water crossings,mud,snow,freezing rain,up hill,and down hill. 44 mile trail and no drips on Da wife. It has to be fixed after that trail.

Done, 20 minute task. I didn't cut the hole in the passenger side but it would have been much easier if I had. I was able to cut the grommets quickly with a knife.

Got some water and muck out. With the windows down in the Arizona sun, it should be dry in the next few minutes

Another issue that some may overlook...
I think the clogged tubes can freeze in very cold weather. The expanding column of water can push the tubes off the fittings at the sunroof. This might explain how some H3s have the hoses disconnected above the headliner....without any history of using compressed air.
Just another reason to keep the drains clear.

My rear ones are clogged. Where I normally park the vehicle isn't level and the rear is lower. That's why I have trouble. So I just have to remember to park the other way around when we have a storm. If I could find the rear tubes I would probably tackle the problem someday.

This link helped me. I wouldn't do everything he did - like blowing air down the tube, but everyone seems to have their favorite way of doing it. The 6-minute mark will show you how he took off the rear wheel flare to gain access to the drain tube behind the rear door.

Guys I need your help please. I removed the grommet on the driver side and it was fairly easy. I managed to get my hand in the small area on the passenger side and with the tips of my fingers I took off the grommet and I cut away the inside. BUT! trying to reinstall the grommet turned into a major problem. I couldn't push it back in place because my hand can only go so far. Then suddenly I dropped the grommet and I cannot find where it went. Has this happened to anyone or does anybody have any ideas for me to solve this problem. A word to the wise " you need real small hands if your going to attempt the passenger side grommet removal".

Cut the plastic from under the cover with a dremel to make the access larger. The side cover will hide your inability to cut a straight line like me.

Thank you I'll give it a shot. I hope I can the grommet. I couldn't find it after 2 hrs so I called it quits out of frustration.

This is what I did today. And for the life of me I cannot find the grommet I dropped. So I guess
its off to the dealer for a new grommet. If one exists.
