At least fix the title man. I don’t think the Nissan is wearing rouge today!😊

Did those wiper arm stems have lefthand threads? It looked like you torqued clockwise to loosen? Thanks for video

To the absolute T this is what happened to our 2014 rogue and I can't thank you enough for this video. I'm the last person to claim to know anything about cars or fixing cars and I did this in about 1 hour after watching the video twice. To anyone about to perform this task watch a video on how to remove rogue wiper arms first. It is a little tricky if you're unfamiliar and no tools are required. Don't try to brute force them off there is some finesse to it, but they should come right off very easily if you're doing it right. The videographer sort of glosses over how to do that part. Same with the clips on the shroud. Get a flathead screwdriver gently up under the part of the clip that is on top of the shroud and while it's under there use your other hand to pull the clips off. They also come right off easily if you're doing it right. Make sure to pour water up top in the sunroof reservoir like in the video to see if it pools and does not drain on the side you're working on BEFORE messing with the drain. You want to know that you've actually cleared a blocked drain when you bend the filter for the first time. Use needle nose pliers and bend the filter piece out of the way....water and probably some brown/grey gunk will come gushing out. Same steps can be performed on the drain on the drivers side too. Our driver side drain was not blocked but the passenger side sure was. You will probably know what side your issues is on based on which side of the headliner is wet when you notice you have the problem. Again many thanks to you ItsCalledSirnica!!!

Twist the filter piece off with a needle nose pliers.

Muchas gracias 🫂

We just did it after watching this video! It really helps! My dealearship quoted me $150 for this job then my partner and I decided to do it on our own and we finished it in an hour. Thanks for the video! Great savings for money!

Had this after finding 2cm of water sloshing about my feet. Absolute shit design.

My rouge just started doing this and this vid was money, big thanks. This is the stupidest design, just another reason to have to take it to the dealer.

After the drains are unclogged, take the seats out, pull up the carpet and dry it (takes about 2 days). The carpet has foam cushions that soak up a lot of water and the only way to fully dry it is to remove them, squeeze the water out and air dry.

Thank you for this video. It totally solved my problem.

I pozdrav iz Beograda

Very good help, i had the same problem !

Just got in my 2015 rogue, same color as yours!, after a heavy rainstorm and my headliner is wet in one corner. I bet you it’s a clogged drain! I’m taking that filter out in the morning!

Nissan I will never buy another car from you again

The dealership wanted 1300$ from us.

Gracias lo hice ahora mismo a mi Nissan y funcionó perfectamente gracias bendiciones

Do both drains come out of the same spot?

Thank you so much this is absolutely the fix

I struggled to remove my wiper arms for so long. If you can't remove your wiper arms, you have to press down on them with one hand, and pull it out at the base with the other hand. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXbdmIp-aLRln68si=ZzJWh1w_SK0BxXjL

Simply excellent! It helped me a lot. A couple of years ago I took it to a dealer and he charged me a lot of money but it broke down again shortly after and I didn't want to take it back. The water did not drain, it got inside the cabin, soaking the carpets and leaving a horrible musty smell, so I looked for a solution on KZbin and watched this video, I just applied it and it worked wonders. Thank you so much!

Nissan *HAD* to have put these pointless filters in for a reason, and that is to squeeze more money out of us. It's diabolical. Thank God for KZbin and this channel. Really appreciate it, man.

If you ever find yourself in Athens, Greece, then let me buy you a drink. I was trying to fix it with a square nylon trimmer line, which I inserted from the top but it couldn't reach the bottom (I guess due to an angle). But the job was done when I inserted it from the bottom. I just can't believe that instead of leaving the bottom full opened, they have put this stupid little thing at the bottom end

Thank you so much!!! Do you know if there are filters/drainage at the back as well? The quote I got stated: Remove roof lining board to unblock front and rear sunroof drainage and re-fit.

Do you know if the 2015 Nissan murano have the same system? will that work as well?

My 08 Altima is clogged on passenger side. Can you replace the filter system piece? I need to remove my glove box. Might try wiper area 1st from outside. Great video. Nissans are definitely notorious for this.

The only thing i can think of, to why they would put a filter at the end like that is to keep bugs out maybe, idk.... with that in mind really it should have a filter at the top and bottom.

Thanks for your video. Super helpful

Is that same filter in same location on driver side?

Thanks bro

Thank you so much. What a great video.

Got a quote for $1700 for this repair lmao😂

And Infiniti vehicles too, a design flaw. I have called Infiniti - Canada, they are well aware of the issue and so are all the dealerships, but they refuse to cover the repair/replacement costs.

Thank you for your excellent video. I had exactly the same problem. This is a very bad design by Nissan. The blocked drain resulted in around 5 litres, yes honestly no exaggeration, of water in the passenger side footwell. It also caused the electronic parking brake switch to fail. The drains that are under the windscreen scuttle have plastic filters that are guaranteed to block with fine debris/dirt that will get into the sun roof and wash down. I cut the filters out of the plastic drain plug and I reckon there will be no more trouble with water getting into the passenger compartment. Our UK Nissan XTrail (I think it is sold under a different name in the US as in this video) is an excellent vehicle except this stupid piece of engineering and the turbo which is prone to fail and is diabolically difficult to remove due to its location at the rear of the engine, close to the bulkhead. I have yet to establish why the turbo has failed twice in 2 years, but expect it to be oil starvation due to a blocked oil feed pipe. This is an expensive problem to rectify, so I really need to be sure that it doesn't fail again.

sweet tools bro @ the 1 min mark

This worked. Thanks you.❤

This makes absolutely zero sense. There doesn’t need to be a filter in the first place, and then they put it inside the engine compartment. Wtf are they thinking? I thought my sunroof seal was damaged too but it looks fine. Instead of the water going into the engine bay, it was going into my car instead. Genius

I went to a major retailer and I ask about the tool they use to clean the duct. they said no special tool they keep passing the wire til it works. it never freekin worked. I saw your( this video) and disassembled the same parts(simple tools), pulled the nipple filter plug off and the water and crap came gushing out. I pushed a wire up the orifice to move "the bowel" a bit. I think the car was designed this way or a concept guy said "oh Look some unused parts from another design of something that did not work!" You saved me a lot of money that I do no have. I looked good to my wife and kids(priceless) thank you

I unstoppable the front drains how do I unstop the rear drains?

Awesome video thank you!

i've cut out those filters and cleaned the drain to the roof to get all the dust out. but before that i've got totally wet car after Daniel storm in Greece... there are two more drains under rear bumper as i've seen in some video and they should be in same condition...

Thanks bro, I have the same car same color. I appreciate your effort in educating. One that has me going nuts is the DRL. One side is out and I suspect is the ballast. Where in the world is the ballast on a 2015 Nissan Rogue? Check fuses and they are all ok. If anyone knows I would appreciated.

Thanks a lot. Really helpful video

Thank you. My mechanic was quoting me $535 for this and I was able to do it myself

4:21 a good practice is to mark the spline and arm with a permanent marker so you can easily put it back exactly without guessing

This problem caused all.kinds of issues for us. Absolutely crazy design!

Thanks for the video. Have a 2016 Murano. Your video was helpful in finding the plastic piece the drain tube is plugged into. Your right, the design is dumb, why have the filter hidden under a cowling. As in your vid I bent the little piece, water was gushing out. I owe you a beer.

The new rouges have the Infiniti old style door handles with the keyless entry button on the outside. This was nice because you could use gloves to unlock the door still. Now they have touch sensitive sensors on the inside of the door so a button no longer needs to be pressed, but it doesn’t work with gloves

That $500 quote explains why they put the filter there.

Great video thanks it’s always good to know why the sunroof leaks everybody thinks it’s the seals that are no good when it’s not thank you for this great video

I feel that it is NOT a poor design, if you know what the engineers where trying to do. They were trying to allow water and silt to drain while blocking small bugs, spiders, and ANYTHING small enough to fit up the hose, that would make for a safe home for them supplied with water.
