2000 V70R - AWD Rear sunroof drains

[scot850]

As seems to be the way with this car, as fast as I repair something I find something else that is wrong or broken.

I found the side air vent behind the rear bumper sides on one side was loose. But while trying to figure out how it all worked, I noticed that one of the sunroof rear drains was not fitted into the drain grommet. What I can't figure out is how they are held in place? There does not appear to be any clips, and the rubber grommet does not seem to have the rigidity or any ridges to hole the drain in place. The RH one is sitting correctly, but I don't want to disturb it in case the only form of holding it in place is damaged. The LH side looks like it had some kind of rubberised 'goop' at one point but that was it.

Anyone have any idea how this works?

Also, does anyone have any idea why the RH sir vent has 2 rubber grommets as part of the assembly, but the LH side does not?

Thanks,

1) The drain ends are all just "gooped into place". They all come loose over time which thankfully is not a big issue unless your sunroof isn't sealing properly in the closed position.

2) RH side vent has two rubber grommets as this is where the trailer hitch wiring is supposed to go for the OEM hitch. (through one of the grommets for those that don't get the hint)

As always blockpartie, thanks for your help. Just need to find some good sticky 'goop' now to stick this back on place.
