You have the ONLY video that showed what I needed. Seriously…thank you so much.

Found out the hard way when I went through the car wash, totally flooded the cabin!

What a great video, I had the exact same problem and I thought it would be $1000s of dollars to fix at a mechanic, $8 online for the clean out cable and while it took some time, to get them cleared out and flushed and clean out the sunroof channels, take the sunroof deflector off and back on again and get to that drivers side tube underneath, i got it all cleaned up and we are fully draining now. Great Video!!

Thanks !! Your video helped me to figure out where the sunroof drain lines on my nissan rouge 2013 where located.

Maximum respect I just want a little help with the back drain. You taught me a lot so far.

Excellent... my 2008 Altima is most likely plugged at the passenger side of the sun roof. Water stains exactly where you pointed out. We've had non stop ice snow and now rain for several days.

Thanks for the vid, very informative and to the point. Two thumbs up

This is awesome. Have the exact same problem. This gives me the strategy to fix.

Thanks man

Appreciate the video. Putting my Altima back on the road this week after storing it for 4 years. I was not aware the sunroof had rear drains as well until I found this video...Good looking out! Thanks!

This video is so helpful! Thank you so much.

Thanks didn't think about the rear for M37 infiniti

I have a 2010 Infiniti FX35 with a similar problem and I have been doing extensive research. I am guessing the Nissan Altima is using the same type of drain lines as the FX35. What happens is the drain lines run down A-pillar, then behind the dash and out through the firewall. The drain lines terminate at a drain plug in the firewall, and the water drains into the engine compartment. There is a design flaw with the drain plugs because there is a baffle inside these plugs to prevent dirt and debris from going back into the lines. This baffle becomes clogged, then the water leaks and the drain plug seals fails, then water leaks into the cabin. It can happen to both driver and passenger side. It's a $13 part, but a $1500 repair because you must remove the dash to get to it. There are other videos online showing how it's done. The problem is that because it's a design flaw, it will continue to happen. Some people have modified the drain plug and removed the baffle and used a metal tube to extend the drain. Other people have bypassed this drain plug and rerouted the lines into existing AC drains, or drilled holes in floorboard and terminated the lines there. Either way it happens to most Nissan and Infinitis that have this design and the manufacturer should recall this. The problem is that not only does it soak your car, but it can ruin electronics. There are tons of horror stories of bad electrical problems from ruined ECMs and other electronic devices. I am at the stage where I am researching this issue. My car is in a bad way and the floors and carpets are soaked. I removed the passenger carpet and there were puddles under in areas of the floor board. I am not paying money to have a mechanic do this, and I really don't know if I have the skills or tools to take apart my car to replace these plugs. My FX35 is only worth about $5000 and I'm thinking of selling it to Carmax and buying a new car.

Thanks a lot for making this!

Thank you for the video

Love the hatchback

2009-2014 Nissan maxima dual sunroof doesn’t have drain tubes. They drain on the outside. Just in case anyone was wondering .

how did you remove the seal properly? a branch fell on my roof and knocked my sunroof drain tube loose

This is a great video! But may I ask a request, I have an issue with my maxima 07, water leaks begin on the edge of the pillar , but I’m having issues to take it off, as you mentioned “take off the rubber seal” *the car rubber seal*, but I’m not trying to to risk it yet, is it possible to a show a how to video to remove the strip just in case I need to reapply the seal

Do you know if the drain tubes are set up similar for the 09 Maxima(by the E brake)?

I really wanna know how to drain mine when it’s leaking after the dealership that sold me this car sealed the sunroof to not open. 😢 it’s leaking I’m pretty sure and it doesn’t function to open anyway

how did you properly remove the seal? i think mine came loose when a branch landed on it

Do you think using compressed air down the tube from the top.of the sun roof would do the job ?

I have this issue but I don’t have a sunroof…. Interesting

I have this issue but my sunroof slid off the track and if I open it it most likely won’t close, what should I do? There’s water collecting mostly in the back

Do you have a brush you recommend? Diameter?
