Hey, I just wanted to let you know this was really helpful for me - actually you getting it wrong initially and sharing your thought process has been really useful as I try to figure out where the water is leaking from in my car. I wish more people included their mistakes!

[@nestorautorepair]

Thanks for your feedback Bodice , yes no one is perfect lol

God bless you papa thank you 🙏

[@nestorautorepair]

You're welcome boss thank you for your feedback

[@pushbroom9398]

👍👍thanks AWESOME video. My Ford is n shop RIGHT NOW having the drain lines cleaned 4 FREE but i think I'll follow up with this procedure . That looks like that will also work on my home A/C drain line that's filled up with SCUM. Have a BLESSED day.

[@nestorautorepair]

Wow thanks you too

[@jodyroper5105]

I took your advice this morning, I have 3 draining great now but one is leaking in the back like you have going on in this video. Hopefully when I get home from work the Drano will have worked on the stubborn one🤞

[@nestorautorepair]

Nice!! Remember you need to rinse down with hot hot water

[@jodyroper5105]

@@nestorautorepair I did but the hour water poured inside the back. I'll try it again when i get home, maybe the second time is the charm. I really don't want to pull the interior apart.

De nada

Hello wondering of the Drano will damage the rubber drain pipe

[@nestorautorepair]

Not if you clean it after you get done

[@crush42mash6]

I tried to unplug the drain hole by snakeing the drain holes in my 2015 explore, gently use a coat hanger or something smaller diameter

[@nestorautorepair]

Ok

[@brendaguy3955]

Did it work?

[@crush42mash6]

@@brendaguy3955 No I had to do some sealing with silicone, As of now I haven’t had too many problems but who knows. The funny thing if I parked with my vehicle facing my house and it rained it would leak, if I backed in and it rained it did not leak.

I have a 2011 ford explorer the water comes in through the front passenger side. I can't open the roof glass since I think the motor got damage from the water leaking.😔 I don't know if I should buy sunroof motor or the fusil to see. Because the inside part of the sunroof opens all the way to the back and it closes but it doesn't make it all the way to the front. And the glass doesn't open.

[@nestorautorepair]

Wow that's one of the reason I don't like cars with sun roof , yes try checking the fuses maybe it just need a new fuse

I literally just fixed my sunroof motor in my 2012. I had water leaking through the center overhead console during heavy rain. It was annoying but not frequent enough for me to look into it. Then the sunroof motor went up. Due to the recent microchip shortage, prices have gone waaayyyy up to like $130 per motor on Rockauto or Ebay (they were like $60-70 back before covid). So, I hit up a junk yard, found a 2011 Lincoln MKS (slightly different model # but it worked - I think 2012 fusion/focus might have the same too) and bought the left/right motors for $30 (both because the left motor runs the sunroof, right runs the shade and both of mine were shot - and the Lincoln I pulled them from also had the shade and glass). Works like a charm. Now to fix this leaking problem with this guy's video! Mine seems to be the left front since I see it pooling there. Best of luck finding a cheap motor!

[@nestorautorepair]

Thanks good luck

I just replaced the sunroof motor of my 2015 explorer sport

[@antoniobustamant2625]

Gaste 180 dólares solo en el sunroof motor

[@ivandarioify]

So at the end it will still leak inside even with the drains unclogged? 😞

[@nestorautorepair]

Then there is a crack some where

[@ivandarioify]

@@nestorautorepair is there any accessory that you can buy to cover those holes in the back of the gutter?

[@nestorautorepair]

Not that I know off

[@ivandarioify]

@@nestorautorepair that would be perfect to solve the issue for real

[@nestorautorepair]

Yes
