Default Sun roof drain tubes

I need some specifics on the location of the front and rear sun roof drain tube exit points, it has been raining in Southeastern Pa for freakin days and I am tired of swimming inside my truck. I have a chance to work on this problem this weekend but need some details, I found the info on the rear tube coming out behind the tail light. Please somebody, keep me from drowning. Thanks

it may be at the exit points but it could be at the top near the sunroofs. people usually clean them out when redoing the headliner board. the fronts run down the A pillar and out the corners near the bonnet.

Are you getting leaks in the upper corners of your headliner? I had the same issue and the dealer had to drop the headliner and seal a "body seam leak". If not, disregard this message!

WTF is a body seam leak? if leaks where the tubes connect to the sunroof. it will leak either cuz they are clogged there or clogged at the exit points.

Don't know. Apparently, It's an the actual weld where the roof meets the rest of the body? Thats what I was told when I had mine repaired. It was due to a faulty sunroof tray. I didn't do the work, nor see the work being done. I can just go off what they told me. Ask your local LR dealer...

We have a fix for the crack, you break the thing and put in a smaller tube but seal the tube up with epoxy.
