Easiest way to clear Volkswagen Touareg Sunroof Drains!

[@basharalnasser]

Hi Josh. I've read a lot on the ClubTouareg forum about cleaning the sunroof drains, but this is the first time I see it attempted. I thought that it wasn't advisable to use compressed air though, as it can cause the elbow connector by the fuse box on the side of the dash to get disconnected, and as I understand it's not easy to get it back together. Oh and that T1 with the amazing interior. I love it. I hope you will someday either rebuild the V8 or replace it to get that car running again. It really deserves to come back to life.

I think low PSI without a perfect seal on the drain will be fine but I’ll let you know if I notice anything weird.

[@tmill2001]

Great video! this can be applied to almost any car with a sunroof I'd assume. Thanks!

210,000 mile?! Wow, you keep up with regular maintenance, belts etc? Btw, luv the interior color! Nice to see you posting again!

[@spottedeuros1529]

For info - Another option to clean the drains if you don't have a compressor is to use some weedeater/edgetrimmer line. Also remember to clean out the rear drains, they tend to leak into the spare wheel area.

Dude my spare tire area were you put the def has water in there. I noticed that the first time I put the def in for the first time. I couldn’t figure out how the water got in. Glad I came across this video. I need to clean out the drains on my 12 it’s got the full sun roof.

[@Hipbydesign]

Where can you find those?

[@Hipbydesign]

Any videos on how to clear the drains near the dash?

[@ivoyankov7220]

The water inside , could be from two places:Тhe sunroof or drainage . Remove the front mud fenders and than you will see a rubber pimple , clean it up real nice and you are good to go ;) .

[@Hipbydesign]

Is this the area that runs from the windshield? I think that’s where my issue is as I keep getting water. In my chassis somehow.

[@davidceja572]

Can i use a bottled compressed air?

[@Nina-h1h7f]

Do u still have the Touareg

[@MrGinvodka]

I have the 08 t2 too. I tried your method it doesn’t work. Do you have any other methods for unclog the drains?

How to open the sunroof on a 2007 VW Touareg? Thanks

[@patrickfinucan2201]

OH the V8...Such a great looking vehicle (especially the interior) with a bad heart...hopefully you can give it some new life!

[@spottedeuros1529]

I know! I know I can clean that car up too. Hoping to fix it at some point and do a series of videos of bringing it back.

[@Berry-McCaulkiner]

are you guys still a dealership?

[@spottedeuros1529]

nope

[@paulsharp5473]

Now…..where’s my compressor I’m sure I got one somewhere.

[@crystallight2594]

Plugs ,engine coils and look at Cadillac converter

[@djkremer]

I just spent a week tearing my interior out

[@spottedeuros1529]

Was the sunroof leaking?

[@djkremer]

@@spottedeuros1529 no, just the drains. I wouldn’t have taken it all out but I couldn’t get that dense foam padding to dry out. It was difficult to dry even when removed!

[@Hipbydesign]

I wish you made a video of that. I’m having that issue and I’ve no idea how to get the water out. I can’t find a drain plug or anything.

[@davidhancock91]

No I don’t have an air compressor.
