Sunroof drain tube replacement
Hi there,
Car is a 97 Accord Aerodeck LSI RHD (Wagon EX in USA) Short version of story: - water in driver footwell - carpet soaked - suspected sunroof drain tube, so poured water down each in turn - other three draining fine in correct place at wheel arch - driver's is draining into footwell I have checked at the sunroof end and the sunroof drain tube is definitely still attached to the nozzle on the sunroof frame. For the moment I have put a small bung in the drain hole to prevent further damage to the carpet, but this isn't ideal! Checked under wheel arch behind protective cover and the outlet (front drain valve) is all present and correct. Eventually worked out that I should be able to reach the other side of this drain valve from inside the car under the dash, so I went to have a look. I found the drain valve (it's like a right-angled tube bend in rubber) but no tube was connected and the right-angled part was pointing horizontally towards the rear of the car. I could see no sign of the drain tube entering this space, but then it's fairly cramped. Anyone got any idea where it should enter (from the top or rear) and how I'm going to get a new one in if this one is done for? Thanks in advance, Al Reynolds |

Comes in from right at an angle about 15 degrees below horizontal. End of tube was right behind a red electrical connector. Couldn't get to it, so paid Honda shop - 1.5 hrs labour! They did need to drop all the fuse and relay arrangement forwards to get to it, then test afterwards for water ingress. All been fine since. Al |
