Default sunroof drain routing

We put a sunroof in our 97 Disco - didn't come with one. Anyone know where the drain tubes are routed? Looks like they go down the A pillar but not sure where to route them after that. There's a hole in the pillar about 6" from dash level that is covered with tape. Thought maybe it went there, but I couldn't too far with a fish tape.

Thanks,
Marv

I would imagine anywhere that drains to the outside would be fine.

Understand. There doesn’t seem to be a clear path large enough to feed the hose through.

I just pulled the A pillar cover (with the small speaker) and didn't see a hose. It was packed full of wires. Maybe down the B pillar?

Ok, here's the scoop in case someone wants to know. It goes down the A pillar on the inside of it. There are 2 holes at the top of the A pillar. One is partially blocked (nearest your hand when you feel for them) and the other is open. If you follow the pillar down there is about a 12mm hole at the bottom just inside the bottom of the door sill plate. Run a fish tape from the bottom hole through to the top hole. the trick is getting it to come out of the open hole. It naturally wants to find the partially blocked hole but your hose is too big to fit down that hole. We then put the end of the fish tape into the vinyl tube and taped it securely with electrical tape. Then you push the tube down with your assistant gently pulling on the fish tape to guide it. We actually left a little bit sticking out of the hole in case we need to get to it sometime for cleanout, etc.

Have fun,
Marv
