Rear sunroof drains on 2007 XC 70...are they accessible at all?

Post by AylmerQc »

Two years ago I took out the seats and all carpeting so as to dry the very wet sponge carpet-underlay on my XC70.
At the time I thought it was from snow melt off winter boots but I read about the clogged sunroof drain later on so then cleaned out the front ones.
Yesterday I'm working on removing the parking brake cable and lifting the carpet I find it's all wet again.
The "flooding" may have happened between the 12 months from when I first dried out the car to the time I cleaned out the sunroof drains but I'm going to see If I can find or access the rear drains.
Any advice? I haven't found much online about them. Most videos just show the front ones being unclogged...

maybe you can find the outlet tubes under the car.

If you have some wood ramps, drive the front wheels up so the nose is up.

Open sunroof and slowly pour one cup of water at a time.

Water should flow to the rear drain tubes...
