how to unclog sunroof draining 

My wife's Lesxus had become an E300 Swampmaster when the sunroof started draining into the cabin. I watched many videos on RU-vid telling how to unclog the front drains, but this was not helping. Our driveway is sloped so that water runs to the rear and I knew clogged rear drains were the problem. I found your video and flawless victory! It happened exactly like you documented. Nothing at first, a tiny drip, and then it opened up. Now both of the rear drains are clear! Thanks for the tip about pouring the two chemicals separately. That is important to activate the foam down near the clog.

I did this on my 2014 Nissan. The bottle says it is safe for plastic. Great tip about raising the front of the car to make sure the liquid gets to the rear drains. I used a turkey baster and some 3/8” clear tubing and snaked the tubing to the rear corners. Worked great.

Bro it works exactly as you said!! Mine was blocked bad and now it's all clear. All for only 6$ ..thanks bro!!

You saved me so much time and headache in trying to manually get to the clog! It seemed to weird to use drain cleaner on sunroof drain tubes but it worked so well! Thank you so much, man!

Could not find a thing on my E70 BMW X5 sunroof drain problem. Was a little iffy on trying this but after reading the comments here from others "I said what the heck"!! I am here to say it worked perfectly! Crazy as the video showed ....after about 20 mins GOOOoooosh all came out.. Very nice video!!!!! Cheers from NE Arkansas

hey mate.the draino method worked brilliantly.it took about 20 minutes. it poured out in one go,just like your video. you saved me a lot of money. thanks mate

I followed your instructions and it worked. Initially all 4 drain pipes were clogged.

Worked. And for the two front drains. While it was sitting. I got a weed whacker string and stuck it inside the drain that helped too

Just did this on my 2012 chrylser whole top sun roof i just did what u showed us and boom this is hands down the best vid on youtube to diff works for anyone trying to unclog ur sun roof

Awesome video. I will try this tomorrow with my 2014 Cadillac SRX. These cars are notorious for having clogged sunroof drain

Thank you... I watched a number of videos and tried running things through it to no effect... you helped me clear my drains. Thanks

This is the most feasible fix to try! Thank you so kindly, for sharing this knowledge.

I gave it a try and it WORKED !!! Thank you for your help God Bless !!!

You saved me alot of money on my mercedes! Thank you for this one bro

Nestor, great discovery. As the old saying goes, necessity is the mother of all inventions. So many people have been looking for this new discovery. Thank you for sharing with the community.

Thank you for stopping me from selling my car 🤣

Amazing! It worked perfectly. Thank you so much for a simple and cheap fix

Thanks buddy this worked for me!!!! I watched various videos and tried different methods but Your video is the one that worked for my sunroof.

It says it's safe for plastic but I'd still rinse it real well afterwards. Also good to maintain those drains and pour some hot water through it every 4 to 6 months or so to make sure it's draining and clear out any junk.

Great video foot, i will try this next time i have a clogged drain tube

Omg you are a freakn life save. Inexpensive and quick!! Thank you so much!!

@ 3:00 so satisfying lol. Thank you for the tip!

Hoy me dijeron que tenia que pagar $150 para diagnosticarlo. Voy a intentar esto y le dejo saber. Edit for results: I did this. Nothing was even dripping out of the drip tray. I used paper towels to soak up the water in the drip tray and did this same technique. Gave it 30 mins and when I flushed with the hot water it started pouring out! Thank you Nestor!!!

Great job. Thank you. I have to do this on my 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid.

I like your video and subscribe to your channel. I have a 2016 Honda HR-V that is getting water under the front passenger side. I was able to insert about 4' of string trimmer line but it would not go any further. I poured water and the water did come out under the car. However, when it rained, the water is still getting in the car. Do you think the drain is still clog or can it be another reason? I've ordered the Drano Dual Force from your Home Depot link and will give this a try. Can you answer the following questions too so I can make sure I follow your instructions correctly. 1. How much Drano liquid to use? 2. Which Drano liquid side to use first? 3. How long to wait before pouring hot water? 4. How much hot water to use and how hot does it have to be? Should I let boiling water cool off? Thank you in advance for your advice.

Why do you have a link for green gobbler drain cleaner when you Used liquid plumber in the video?

Great idea friend! Thanks! Bob Belgium🇧🇪🍺🤜

This is what I was looking for. I was like there has to be something to drain it without removing the bottom covers. I just couldn't think. I put oxiclean 3 in 1 deep clean with hot water before I saw your video. I'll wait a week or few days before trying the drano if oxiclean doesn't resolve the issue.

How long do you wait to pour the 2nd half? And will this hurt the rubber tubbing inside

Would it be safe to say drain cleaner wouldn't be safe for a front drain clog if water is pooling in the footwell carpet?

Great video, thank you. My Highlander is getting water inside the car when it rains. I'm not sure if the weather stripping needs replacing or if its due to a clogged drain. But i'm gonna try this first before replacing the stripping. I would like your own personal opinion on this. Do you think it is more than likely clogged drains or worn stripping?

For the back drains because u haven't got a ramp can I park the car on a steep hill and do it?

Aren't you concerned w/ damage to the tubing or paint? Is there a way to neutralize the product to prevent secondary damage to the life of the tubing or to the paint?

Gonna try tomorrow. Thank you so much!!!

Hello. I just tried ur remedy on my 09’ Nissan Altima. Water continues to leak into the inside, back console, that leads down by the back windows? When I poured the drano in., it seems as if the drano just came into the inside back console, window area? Cld my drain valves be loose possibly? I’m trying to understand, and fix, without taking things apart. Yet, I’ll do whatever needs to be done. Ur input wld be so greatly appreciated.

What happened when you poured them both at the same time?

Will this work for Mudd & leaves??

Sir, the link brought me to a green gobbler clog dissolver amazon page, does this work too?

Brilliant solution. Thanks. x

I had the same idea and I see it works. Did it eat any holes through the tubing, that you noticed later on?

I wanted to ask you does the hot water damage the drain hose cuz they are plastic??

You rock that was an awesome idea

Does it work for Infiniti g35?

Does every sunroof have 4 drain pipes?

Thanks for good idea 👍

Hi What is the exact brand and name of the liquid you used please?

Thank you!

Awesome!!!!!!! Thank You!!

What's the name of the product.

Um what if your tubes are rubber?

Thanks dude

Tried it and my car stop driving…😩

You the effing man bro! Liked and subscribed 👊🔥

I just use my air compressor... I open my sunroof, stick the air nozzle inside each hole & blast 3-5 seconds of air through the line & Im done in a couple minutes tops! Worked well for over 20yrs for me so far. Id never put any corrosive chemicals in these tubes, it may destroy the tubes insides leaving them rough so they clog faster. "Air pressure" this is the way!...lol
