Does your leaky vehicle have a sunroof? If so, try this first.

  • Unclogging sunroof drains. If your car has a water leak that is causing a wet headliner, water dripping from the headliner, wet roof pillar, a damp carpet or water pooling in the foot wells you should check your sunroof drains. Blowing compressed air down the drain lines can help clear blockages. I would suggest keeping the compressed air around 30 PSI. Higher PSI can potentially dislocate the drain tube inside the vehicles column.

    You can disconnect the pipework by blowing down air down there... More over, you could be compacting the blockage making it harder to dislodge.

    Ayy dude .. DUUUDE .. S/O to you man .. this video helped me fix the sunroof drain on my passenger side in my 2011 bmw 328i xdrive I even went ahead and decided to clear my driver side sunroof drain too with the same method .. instead of using the air machine/chuck you have I went to the gas station and used their air pump that’s costs $2.00 in quarters 😂 .. it’s been such a headache trying to figure out how to unclog the sunroof drain myself, but this video/method has saved me so much money .. I’ve been on a 6 month long journey to find a video that works .. and this one was it !! Lord knows I would’ve had to spend so much money to get it fixed had I taken it to the bmw dealership !! I hope you have an amazing rest of your life and I hope each day is filled with happiness and many blessings 🙌🏽💙 !!!

    Why does this happen in the first place

    • @alittleofalot5171
      @alittleofalot5171  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @esco.letsgo it’s a slow build up of debris. Over time it can clog the sunroof drains.

    Goos tip thanks, but why wouldn't you edit out your wife's (presumption I know but it had that - familiar - sort of instant angry, blaming tone) voice??

      @exk6 Glad I could help. Next time I’ll edit any of that out. I thought the clip was important to make sure people held the hose in and now I know how to edit the audio.

    what is the diameter of the tube that worked?

    • @alittleofalot5171
      @alittleofalot5171  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m not sure what the tube O.D. was that I used, I just had it laying around. It was slightly larger than 3/16th, so perhaps a 1/4” O.D.?

    never use the blow gun, it risks dislocating the interior pipes there are teats located in compartiment at the level of the wipers motor or in wheel arches. Do not forget to unclogue at the back under the rear floor both sides.

    • @alittleofalot5171
      @alittleofalot5171  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think using an air compressor is fine, just stay around 30 PSI or lower, that should keep the line from dislocating. Yes, unclogging the other end works too but it’s usually more time consuming to get to.

      Stop being a pxxxy and give it a try .. it works .. I hate when scrubs like you come on someone else’s video and give disbelief and negativity to a method that actually works and isn’t that risky in reality ..

  • @chrisradla

    I don't think so that it's a good idea. Compressor pressure will pop off the drain lines off of their fittings

    • @alittleofalot5171
      @alittleofalot5171  ปีที่แล้ว

      Don’t use a really high pressure, in the description I suggest 30PSI but you can start with even lower as that might pass the blockage. Usually the blockages aren’t really stuck and it works. If they are really jammed in there and compressed air doesn’t make it pass then the excess air still blows back out around the hose.

      Not true .. if you don’t go crazy with it then you should be fine .. stop putting out negative comments on a very informative video scrub ..
