I have a '96 A4 with a sunroof problem. My sunroof drain tubes are sending water out behind the rear wheels, which is fine, but they also leak a lot of water down the B and C pillars into the rear passenger footwell (more than an inch on a really rainy day). Is there a simple solution that doesn't involve removing the headliner?

 

belive it or not this is actually a common problem. try this link https://www.audiforums.com/m_391895/.../tm.htm#393139 if it doesnt work just look at my previous threads. youll have an answer. and just a tip, do a little research before u ask a question. someone has probably already asked it and you will get burned!!! hope it helps. oh, you could also check www.audiworld.com

 

Thanks Mr Mudpuppu_94. Unfortunately the link didn't help. I actually did research this for some time and the reason I posted my question was because no-one seemed to mention water VISIBLY running down the B and C pillars. I also rang Audi and their engineers have never heard of it. If they haven't heard of it, it's most definitely not going to be cheap, and so i took my query to the wider world. Thanks though for your help.

 

well try spraying compressed air down the sun roof drain lines, sounds like there clogged.

 

There wont be any burning for questions like this.. only the questions that get asked over and over again.. i would have to say this is a legit question.

Try getting a compressor and using that to blow the air through the drain holes.. if you hear a popping sound, thats just it unclogging

 

i know that. i was only telling him that i asked this question last week.

anyways i talked to a few guys back when i asked who had the same problem and they said all the did was blow the trash out of the sunroof drain line
