Does anyone know where the drain hoses for the sunroof drain out are at? I sprayed the rocker panels with rust proofing and wasn't sure if I clogged the end of the drain hose if ford dumps them out in the rockers still.
Thx

I'm pretty sure that the drain tubes are in the front corners and run down through the A-pillars exiting somewhere behind the front fender liners.

passenger side pillars. NOT the drivers side. That is where some wire harness is

04-08 models were in the windshield pillar. I'm betting the 09+ is same way.

factory installed or is it a dealer add-on?

Factory installed. Do they drain out into the rockers or just outside of them? It's a 2012 btw!
Thx

look under the passenger front footwell by where the a/c condenser drain line is. it should go down the windshield pillar, through the rocker panel and exit the truck and drain right there by the firewall at the passenger footwell.

I couldn't find that one, but I found a hose in the rocker panel on the passenger side rear/ C-pillar.

guess they moved things a bit then

blow some air up that hose. it's typical for leaves and other crap to clog the inlet to the hose. if you open the sunroof and look under the body paneling sometimes you can see the drain. check for clogging

I tried that and pouring water down the tube, no luck. I couldn't see the water exit the truck;(. Is there a diagram or anything that shows the routing of and number of drain hoses?
Thx
