sunroof drain tubes - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 1998 toyota camry with a sunroof.
I had searched but could not find any info on this. Does anyone know where the sunroof drain tube leads to on the front and back for your gen camry? I am planing to shoot some compressed air into the tubes from the outlet and could not locate the drain tubes. Any help and pics will be appreciated.

I am desperate for an answer. My car is soaked with rain water.

please help..........

Haven't had a need to locate the front ones...so I don't even know if they exist (I have a 99 XLE w/ Sunroof). However, the tubes that lead to the rear of the car travel along the sides of the roof and down the c (or is it d) pillars (the rear most pillars right behind the rear doors (front, middle, rear, you get the idea).

I'm not sure of the exact location, but it's in between front fender and the front door, at the bottom. Are both sides of your floor wet? If one side is not wet, pour a little water near the front corner of the sunroof and it will drain and you will see. Best thing to do is open the sunroof, spray some air into the holes at the front corners.

I was told the tube goes under the trunk mat on the drivers side. I want to know where the hole is on bottom of the back.

thanks for the quick reply guys. I tried to look for the drain tubes, but failed to locate them. Worked on it till 2.00 a.m yesterday. Might have to take the trim out from the A pillar and see if I can locate them.

Kathy just blow 20psi of air into the holes in the sunroof (Then 40 if you still have a problem). The drain holes are located in every corner.

There is a generation 4 manual stickied at the top of this General Camry Discussion forum. Download it and check the section on the sunroof. It should have a diagram of the sunroof along with the drain holes.

I already did that. I am trying to find where the drain tube outlet is. not the INLET. I have heard horror stories about blowing compressed air in the inlet and the tube ended up disconnected from the plastic piece.

The end up behind the wheel wells in the trunk and let out under there, I assume. Try to access the stock-jack area(s) in the trunk and you should see a hefty clear plastic/rubber tube.

Still clueless on the front ones though.
