Where will i find the drainage pipes on my clio sunroof, and how do i clean them?
My 1997/8 renault clio sun roof has been leaking, i have cleaned up the seal but still need to clear the drainage pipes. Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
they are just under the sunroof in each corner…use a air hose to blow out
The way I’d do it is with a high pressure shop air hose attachment that you stick into the roof top end of the drain hoses and then blow them out with air. A friend should be able to feel the air come out under the car where the drain tubes exit. You could probably adapt the air fitting at a service station used to fill your tires or ask the technician to blow out the tubes. Look for the small drain holes around the perimeter of the sunroof. You might also somehow feed water into the drain hole with a small funnel (rubber hose attached) and then watch and see how fast it comes out under the car.
if you do use compressed air to unblock the drain holes be care full not to over do it as you can blow the tubes off inside the door pillar and then your car will fill up with water when it rains!best way is to use a long bit of brazing wire to poke down the drain holes.good luck
