I ran into this problem and I just fed a 1/4” hard plastic air line right through the original hose from the top all the way to the boot at the bottom. Then I screwed it to the side for support with a 1/4” plastic cable clamp. I sealed the top with Flex Seal after I plugged the hose to keep the flex seal out it. Two years later still no more leaks.

Its just alot better just to replace the tube. Less money, better, and just as easy. All i recomend is to tape the new hose to the end of the old hose and pull it out that way.

That is an option for sure. Pulling the old hose while trying to feed the new hose can be pretty tough to do by yourself though. I had the hose clamps and hose laying around my shop so the only thing I had to buy was the hose barbs, which I think I paid about $2 for.

I have the same problem on my daughter's 2002 Accord. Thanks for going to the trouble of making this video. That looks like a really good and longer-lasting solution. I guess I'll start figuring out how to remove the headliner.

There is a video on KZfaq which explains how to remove the headliner. It is a tedious job there are a number of things which have to be removed. You will need regular and Phillips screwdrivers plus a 3/8 drive 14mm socket and ratchet (that is for the shoulder belt anchor pivots) in order to do the removal. I chose not to try the extension at the wheel well end as there is just not enough working room at least in the front. I got the clear vinyl hose at Home Depot and the hose barbs and spring clamps at Ace Hardware.

@@KingBaconMonger I haven't finished working on mine yet. I had to go to Harbor Freight and get a set of extra long nose pliers as my hand is too big to reach far enough in to grab the hose and push it back into the outlet. I will check the driver's side too although I haven't had any problems on that side and will also check the rear ones while I have the headliner out.

I just finished the same fix on my 2002 Accord SE. It wasn't easy to get the headliner out but I found that this way worked out the best. I didn't want to try replacing the entire hose so I just got some 3/8 x 1/2 plastic hose, two hose barbs, and four spring hose clamps at Ace Hardware. It turned out that both front hoses were disconnected but the rear ones in the trunk were OK. To me there isn't enough room on the passenger side to try to add a piece under the dashboard.

wheres the access to the bottom/floor/wheel well nozzle for the drain on the drivers side? I think my drivers side rear drain has pulled out since its leaking in the drivers side back seat floor. Front pulled out of the drivers side underneath but i can/fixed that already. Just wondering where I can get access to that one at on that side im not finding any answers or diagrams online.

The rear drain tubes run into the trunk and drain into the rear wheel wells. If you pull out the trunk lining on the sides you should see the tube running into a boot similar to the front.

@@shadetreefixes3899 I found it...by just temporarily pulling back the liner/half of it. Its hardshelled/tempered so its not like a older toyota where you can just pull ir apart by section. Yeah its by the gas tank release cable in the wall its still connected and doesnt look clogged and ZERO water/wetness around it. So that ones good. Wonder if its just my front one leaking into the left paneling onto drivers side floor and seeping back into the backseat since thats where it stops/dead ends. So it all collects there. Ceiling isnt wet at all so i doubt the clamps failed at the sunroof itself.

I went into front both sides. Drivers side waaaay easier than passenger side. Both drain tubes out of lower 'boot'. 3/8" male-male connector from auto parts store is 7cm/ 2.5" long... push hard into drain tube end as far as you can, then place connector extended tube into the boot (very challenging passenger side). Get extra-long extension needle-nose. You're done. No chance that connector tube extension pops out. My gawd this was a horrendous thing. Great car otherwise. Been a month, all dry, water runs into wheel well both sides.

I don't know how hard it is to do it on the passenger side but I've been searching for the connection tube on the driver size for 1 hour under the rain and no youtube video showed me how to access it. I started reading forums which were more useful than KZfaq wasting my time with at least 2 ads and the KZfaqrs wasting half of their video in theoretical explanation but not showing the job done. I ended up finding that the drain was hidden and I need to remove those wires and may be the fuse box. Now I'm searching a video which will tell me the consequences of disconnecting any of those cables or fuses(I can't believe those important things get ignore by all KZfaqrs showing sunroof drain fix driver side).

@alfaralph7710 You are correct, tubes are hidden behind the wiring harnesses. Disconnect battery before disconnecting the wiring. They are different sizes and configurations if memory serves, so you cannot mix them up. Passenger size had a couple bit similar but you can't mix them up by mistake... even though I tried. Ha. Reverse the process when you're done the tube addition reconfiguration. Everything should be fine.
