2016 Nissan Murano rear sunroof drain line location (Easy)

This is great info. Here is how i used your video and cleaned mine. I had water in my back hatch area and researched what it could be which led me here. My take is the drain line backed up and overflowed into the interior. I bought a 61 inch flexible pipe cleaner(also a 41 inch) on Amazon for less than $9 and unclogged my rear driver side line and the grommet to fix my issue. To check for clogs, I opened the sunroof, opened car door and stood in doorway and located the two front drains. I ran the pipe cleaner line through the front drains and got no crud on line. For the rear, I started on the outside track of the sunroof next to outside frame. You can't visually see the drains but they are located at each corner like the front. I fed the flexible pipe cleaner under the open glass roof until it found the drain as the line found a path down. I pushed as far as I could. When I extracted the line it was saturated. Defiinetly clogged. Opened the panels as shown here and located the line and grommet. I placed an empty coffee cup under the line and detached it. The cup caught some water but not much. Then I ran flexible pipe cleaner up the other direction from bottom up to sunroof. Turns out the plug was near the grommet connection as the cup filled about a quarter full with dirty water. I dumped the water and there was silt like dirt plugging the line. I emptied cup, added more water to make sure it was cleaner and flowing. It was good. Next I took the cleaned pipe cleaner and pushed through the grommet drain. It was tough to push it through, but judging by the extra grime it was clogged too. Then I connected drain, ran some clean water and saw it was draining behind the wheel. I tested the other drains and they all were drain well.

Thank you, do you think compressed air would do the trick??

[@shawnpainter9430]

@elliottdays5013 with the line, probably. Not with the grommet.

Thank you for the video! I'm having water coming up through the floor behind the drivers seat. I read it may be because the sunroof drain may be clogged. I'm hoping this works!! 🤞🏻

Maaaaaaan you are amazing! It took me 5 hours originally to take mine apart originally versus the 15min for this. Thank you!!!

Nice! Now I’ve got to do the front.

[@elliottdays5013]

OMG! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks I have one question, what kind of cable did you use to clean out the line?

[@gtchesser]

@@elliottdays5013 I had a box of cat 5 cable (network cable) in my garage that I used.

Wish I had found this video before I took everything apart. 😅 In the end this is what I ended up doing.
