2002 V70 Rear Sunroof Drains?

Post by krenekj »

After the first heavy rain of the season, the Black Widow suffered catastrophic water penetration on the passenger floors (front and rear) due to a plugged front sunroof drain. Both fronts are now clear and the interior is drying out.

I want to verify the rears are clear - how do I get to them? Do I need to remove sunroof glass to see them and get my compressor in there to give it a quick blast of air. Or is there an easier way? I'm not looking to see the tubes through the pillars, but just blow some air through the lines.

Thanks.

Hello

I had a similar experience. But, it was only the front. Not sure the following procedure is working.
Please try the following way.

1. Please go get the Dr. Drain X2 more at your local store.
2. Please go get real HOT water with dish soap.
3. First, pour the Dr. Drain into the sunroof channel very slowly, wait 30-45mins.
4. Pour the HOT dish-soap water into the sunroof channel very slowly, wait 10-15mins.
5. If the water is draining from the rear (it will see very small amount the water is coming), keep trying to this procedure.

Hope this helps.
