Sunroof front drain location
 

Wondering if anyone knows where the front sunroof drains exit? I have a plugged RF drain, been working at clearing it with no success. Thought I would try attacking it from the other end before lowering the headliner. I did pull back the fender liner but all I located was the drain from the underside of the E-box.

fwiw- a few X5s were built with crush damage to the drains in the A pillar. Hope yours is just crap stuck in it. :(

That makes 2 of us... I was just checking the drains today with a hose and found out the hard way.. Went from seeing a bit of water in the battery area to it pouring on the passenger seat. I did a credit card test on the seal and found the fit a bit loose in the right front corner. My first clue was wind noise from that corner at highway speed. Ordered a new seal but have to get that stinking drain working.

Just found a location and photo.. Bloody hell this is going to be fun.

Just linking to thread for future reference: https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...f-diy-e70.html Post #53.

Some of them were built with the line twisted right by where it exits the body. On the driver side that is near the frm and mine was kinked there, causing obstruction of flow.

For these over engineered cars there are a lot of stupid things that happen!

Hope I can get at the thing from the kick panel side.

I twisted the end that exits behind the wheel well to unkink my drivers side one. I would peek in and check by that frm spot to see if the line was untwisting. Not sure how to do passenger side, I do plan to look at it next spring but for now it drains ok.

Speaking of blocked water drainage... I was wondering if anyone has gotten any help from BMW USA about this faulty sunroof drainage system. Our 5 Series colleauges won a $400M class action for this problem but we have the SAME DRAINAGE SYSTEM and we get no help????? Please help me understand why they will not help us!

Most likely way more 5 series made to entice a class action firm to underwrite that effort.
