The driver and passenger side carpet gets wet when it rains. i think it might be a clogged drain coming the sunroof. How can I unplug that drain so the water is running freely and not overflowing onto the carpet.
Look in the two front corners of the sunroof opening. Best thing to use is either a small stainless cable (like used on garage doors) or a heavy copper wire down through it.
The rear drains are easiest to get to from the bottom, but usually arean't as much an issue, unless your closing you're sunroof while you're pushing through deeeep vegetation a lot
BTW, use Search in this forum and you'll get a ton of info on this. I'd write more, but I've already BTDT
Oh, and Welcome
Just the standard friendly greeting for new users around here.
Another source could be the windshield. After a decent rain I have water on the gasket on the inside of the windshield. When it is dry you can see where it puddles up and leaks down.
For clearing the sunroof lines: solid copper wire, zip ties, etc. There is a post talking about the drains having a kink, letting them drain to a point, but were easily overwhelmed and overflowed into the interior.
If one has an aftermarket windshield, that would also be one of the first things to check. There are a inferior windshields out there and oftentimes repair shops do not follow the FSM installations directions. That can certainly cause leaks, based on numerous horror stories here in the archives.
Yes, in a few cases, it is true that the the drain is improperly attached or has slipped off the nipple at the end of the drain. However, to correct that, you need to take down the headliner, a significant project. Try everything else first.
BTW, I mentioned copper wire because others use it. I've found that stainless steel aircraft cable is much more effective and easier to use. YMMV
FWIW, on the sunroof drain deal. I used wire tie. The stuff they use during cement work, which is found in the cement section of Home Depot/Lowes/Hardware store. $5 for a fairly large roll.
Stuff works great, and I keep in the 80. Obviously strong, so you need to tie something ? Wrap and twist.
