In this short video I show you how to unclog and clean a clogged sunroof or moonroof drain. The process is similar for most makes and models of cars with clogged moonroof or sunroof drains.

You literally just saved my bank!! I couldn’t figure out what the hell was happening to save my life! Water all over my drivers side floorboard after a heavy rain. Turns out, the driver side sunroof drain was clogged. Did exactly as you showed us and it now drains properly and there is no more water running into the floor. THANK ❤

Paid a bit of $$ back in Jan to clear mine. Thank you for posting this so I can ensure they stay clean!

Following this video, I unclogged my sunroof drain today. Thanks!!!

You just saved me a lot of unnecessary work... I was gonna remove the sunroof and look for a leak... Thank you

This is exactly what I did to clear plugged drains in our Infiniti QX70S. Worked great - took less than 10 minutes!

Trimmer line worked great, thank you

[SuperBoppy]

Nice video, thank you. Thank you also for showing how to use stuff we already have to do the job, instead of buying another tool to do it. It might be a good idea to fasten something to the end of the trimmer line so as not to drop it in the hole accidentally.

My daughter’s 2019 Nissan Rogue had the problem on the passenger side with a leak. I took it apart like you said. It was exactly the same procedure as you described. The spot where the windshield wiper rest was full of debris. I cleaned that out too. I used a line trimmer and that worked and water came out. That is a really bad design on the Rogues. Thank you for your great video.

terrific video. straight to the point and no bs

Nice video! I used one of those stiff wire tools designed to fish hair out of a bathroom sink drain and it worked great.

Unfortunately, this was in a seldom used vehicle and water had saturated the carper and passenger seat.

I used a powerful dehumidifier to dry out the interior and then an ozone generator to deodorize it. I ran the dehumidifier for a week and the ozone generator for a day and it worked.

Thanks for the video.
Just one point of concern;
Another video recommended AGAINST using a blower to clear out the drains as this may cause the drain tubes to dislodge inside the bodywork of the vehicle which is a huge problem to fix.
Other than that... 👍🏼

I just did this to my 2008 vw jetta. Worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing your video

[orangedrone]

Thanks! Mine were somehow clogged with mud haha. I've been noticing water stains on my sun roof cover for a while now. Thinking I must have left it cracked open during the rain. I would just clean it with a magic eraser sponge and forget about it. But now thankfully it's taken care of.

Weed trimmer line comes in different sizes. What size is suggested/recommended? How long does the line need to be? The tubing for the drain is some sort of rubber/plastic. The person that suggested a Draino product - won't that melt the tubing?

Ahhhh!!! String trimmer line thank you.

[BoolinToolin]

You can use 3D Printer Filament too. Works great when you don’t have trimmer line. I pulled it off an old spool and cut the end at a 45

What if the tubing came disconnected? How do you pull down the interior ceiling to access it? People show that part but don’t explain how to get to it.

[ryanrondorf]

So my problem is that water is leaking into my vehicle from the inside of the tubing somewhere. It ends up dripping down to the floorboard on my passenger side and I don’t know how that can be fixed cheaply. Any thoughts? There are no obstructions and I can get water to pour out the bottom behind the wheel well, but with enough rain, water starts to get inside the cabin.

[mauriciodupuy]

What I did is to get a really long trimmer line, and just run the whole drain to the other end back and forward . Thanks.
