Sunroof drains, a mystery
Owned this '04 X5 3.0 since 2014. For most of that time, at least the last 4 years, if we parked the thing nose-down, we'd get water dripping from the headliner over the windshield if it rained, so we've always made sure to park it nose-up.
I finally decided to check the front drains, and what I found was quite surprising. This is what I saw the moment the covers came off. Have a look at the pictures and let me know what you think could have caused this. Frankly I'm baffled. We had PDR done to fix hail in late 2015, and the body shop said they had to remove the headliner and sunroof cartridge, but if they did, and pulled the drains out and tried to stuff them back down the A pillars, would they really have had this result? Looking at the design, I think the A pillar covers would need to come off to get the headliner off, unless they took a shortcut.
