A little tip for anyone doing this job, there’s a hole in the floor right by the dead pedal on drivers side. No need to run it over to the passenger.

This man must be protected at all cost. 👏

I was leaking on both sides. Did this today and it worked great. Got all parts from Lowes for $36. Thanks a million!

Way better than replacing the the part behind the dash or the straw method! I’m surprised I haven’t seen this done before.

While I don't consider myself overly handy...this was so easy to do. Dealer wanted $1500 to replace the drain ports. Did this for under $40. Thank you for posting.

Found a wet carpet this week, luckily the drivers side so nothing got fried. Found your video and liked this method much more than any other one I'd seen. Found all of the pieces I needed and completed the whole job in an hour and a half. I used clear tubing so I could see how it was draining. I tried some water at home as a test and then took the car through the a car wash with the A pillar covers off and the passenger carpet folded back so I could watch the draining in real time. You saved me so much time and frustration, thank you!!!

Thank you so much for making this! It happened to my 2013 a couple days ago. I just did it today and it works perfectly! Way better than fixing the OEM setup just for the same issue to come back. Thank you again, you are a scholar and a gentleman.

Your technique is ingenious. You've made my life so much better. I have a 2008 G35 sedan with that sunroof issue. I took the dashboard out to fix it what pain in the a** it was. It work fine after a couple of rain storm. I was devastated when it leaked again after a mild rain. That was two years ago. Btw that white G37 sedan is awesome.

Thanks so much for this video! The Mrs. was panicking when I first pulled apart the dash to try and remedy the clogged drains. This is hands down a better way to go about fixing this issue without having to get to the firewall.

Thanks for this link I have been looking for a solution for this problem this is the second time I’ve experienced this problem. The first time the dealer fixed it and kept my car for 2 weeks. They damaged my dashboard and had to replace it. I followed your directions and it works perfect. Thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was extremely helpful and saved me the $2,600 the dealer quoted me to fix the sunroof drainage system!! You are a life saver!

Thank you for sharing this genius method. My 2012 G37 just leaked for the 1st time. I merged the left and right together close to the ac line, then used a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter before I connected them to the 1/2 ac line.

Bro. You saved me 300-400. Got all the parts from my job and got to work as soon as I got home. 🙏🙏

I did the straw method probably a year ago now, no leaks but the headache it gave me fixing…I now want 20K for my G. 🤣🤣🤣Nice work, good thought process, nice execution.

Thank you for posting this video. Got the materials today for 44 bucks at Lowe’s. Feed the tube through the crevices was the hardest part but all In all very simple. Appreciate it this ingenious permanent fix brother. God bless!

Man this is going to save me some money, almost has someone work on my sunroof thinking that was the problem. HUGE THANKS.

Man thanks for the step by step guide on this this fix. My son just spent 3k to replace his BCM because of this leak and we wanted to make sure it wouldn't happen again. This was the perfect solution. We did it in about 2 hours and we are far from being mechanics. Anyway thanks again. Keep up the good work.

Oh my goodness, thank you!!! I had called my insurance company today thinking it was the bottom winshield leaking from the seal. 2012 g37 sport sedan. Have to call back Monday but I decided to research a little. On an infinity forum the talked about drilling holes in floorboard, taking seat out, all kinds of stuff. ONE guy said these 3 words. "Sunroof drain tubes. End of story", so I came on here typed in year make model sunroof drain tubed and you came up first. Praise GOD!! So now I can fix this tomorrow myself because the water us leaking onto my fuse box on Drivers side under dash and causing problems. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND!!

You sir are a genious! Thank you for sharing this video!!! I've had this leak issue repaired TWICE at the dealership, both at great cost, and just two years between "fixes"! And the leak recently returned again for the THIRD time! I took my 2010 G37 back to the dealer and they want $2k to "fix" it!! I told them there was no way would pay that ridiculous price. And the service advisor and manager both tried to tell me they've never heard of these cars having repeat issues, that once it's fixed, it's fixed. Liars!!! I called the parts department to see if they had the drain clips in stock and this guy was honest about this issue. He told me that they keep this part in stock because these cars have this known design flaw. I ordered all of the parts on everyone's favorite online store and they will be delivered tomorrow. Then I'll tackle the issue and fix this problem myself.

The most perfect solution is here. There may be a cost involved in purchasing miscellaneous items, but it is definitely the easiest method. Thank you for always good information.

2008 G35 Sport Sedan. My son and I just completed this repair. The hardest part was on the passenger side. Routing the tubing through the dash from the A-pillars. It would only go about a foot or less and then stop. Since we could not get it to go further, we had to remove the glovebox and the support behind it. Removal was super simple and afforded us a much better access and view to route the tubing from the A-pillar and behind the dash to the firewall and ultimately to the passenger footwell. We did both sides, passenger and driver even though the only side that was leaking was the passenger, it was only a matter of time for the driver side to fail - the driver side was much simpler to route the tubing through the dash under the steering wheel shaft and over the top of the pedals - easily zip tied to keep the tube clear of the pedals and maintain drain slope. Huge kudos to you for sharing this video and showing that it can be done.

Saw this video earlier today from a Facebook comment, watched through and a couple hours later I went to Home Depot, got the 3/8 line, 3/8 barb splicers and the 3/8 barbed tees and some hose clamps it was about $40! Got it done in about an hour. Such an easy fix, better then the stupid straw/ drain method. The driver side I had a little bit of a harder time cause I had to put the tube behind the steering column, which caused it to travel up slightly so water doesn’t get pushed through as good, but it still works great. Thank you !!!

Dude! You’re a gentleman and a scholar. Ty for taking the time to make and post this! 🙏🏽

I’m the guy that never comments on KZfaq videos but I just had to come on here and say THANK YOU. I’ve been putting this off for over two years now just dealing with the wet carpet because of how much the repair costs. I did this myself in about an hour and now my carpets can stay dry 😊

Thanks for taking the time to post your video with the information on how to fix the clogged Infiniti sunroof drains. With your help, I was able to do my drains exactly the way you did it. I was losing hope watching other videos because I didn't want to have to try and replace the plug.

I’ve noticed my driver side carpet wet 4 days ago after it rained 🥴, I jumped on KZfaq and came across your vid. I just got finished today 11/29/22 took me about an hour and a half because of the driver side was so tight but all good now Thanks for your vid 🤙🏾

Thank you for making this video. It saved me a considerable amount of money and headache. It actually turned out to be a fun weekend project for my father and me to take on. I never comment on videos but wanted to leave you a thank you.

Great video. I independently arrived at this exact fix on my passenger side several years ago and am now faced with extending it to the drivers side. :)

I’ve noticed my carpet wet 4 days ago 🥴, I jumped on KZfaq and came across your vid. I just got finished today 11/29/22 took me about an hour and a half because of the driver side was so tight but all good now Thanks for your vid 🤙🏾

Did this around 2 months ago after seeing this video and it has been perfect ever since🤘thanks for the vid!

Huge Thank you! I did this to my son’s 2014 Infinity Q60. Quickly poured 2 cups of water on both sides and receive the same amount to the floor. Great solution versus straw trick… thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing this! I made the fix two days ago, went to the car wash yesterday and the carpets are bone dry 24hrs later. I used clear hose so I can monitor debris build-up.

Can't wait to try this. Had this issue "fixed" approx 8yrs ago by Infiniti. Thank you so much for sharing!

I have the same problem with my 2010 Infiniti FX35. My carpet were soaked like yours. I did extensive research on this and found that the cause of the problem is the drain plugs that terminate in the firewall. I watched a lot of videos of people trying to replace those, or modify their existing plugs by taking out the baffle and putting in a metal straw. This seemed extremely difficult and beyond my skill set. I didn't want to pay $1500 for the dealer to replace the drain plugs only to have it happen again so I decided I would do it myself. When I pulled the carpet up I saw the AC drain in the floorboard and thought that I might be able to use that. I searched on KZfaq to see if anyone else had the same thought and found your video. We must think alike. I'm good at troubleshooting and coming up with solutions, but not so good at executing the solution so I am glad that you posted this video to show me how it's done. I am going to attempt it in the next few days as soon as I source the parts. This seems like the best fix for this solution. What I am really surprised at is how come there isn't a recall for this problem since it happens to EVERYONE at some point. It's not just wet carpets you have to deal with either. I have read horror stories about people who have had electrical problems from the water ruining their ECMs and other electronics. I love Infiniti but I will never buy another one with a sunroof.

Just did this today on my 13’ g37, doing the fix this way honestly not as extensive as it seems, overall took me about an hour to do, and spent about 20$ on supplies. Very happy with the outcome thanks bro for making this video

I tried the other method 2 years ago on multiple times and it still leaked and I had my car covered with tarp when it rained and I never thought there would be a fix… well this took me an hour last night and took it to car wash first thing this morning and boom! No leaks! It’s fixed! I can’t thank you enough! Your a genius!!!

Just finished this! Biggest issue was running the hose on the passenger side. I ended up taking out the glove box…piece of cake after that! I couldn’t find 3/8 x 1/2 t’s so I used the 3/8 and zip tied the AC hose. Thanks a ton!

Thank you very much. I just did this today to my G35 and problem solved. Way better than doing the other way and have it leak again.

Thank you so much for this info... Just discovered that my G37 is leaking... Windows all fogged up showing the typical signs of moisture penetration. Now I know how to tackle it as a result of your video. Blessings!

I did this with my 2013 g37. Working like a charm so far. I did struggle to pull the hose over the hump. Used old hanger and tape to pull the hose through. My car drain was 1/2 inch vs the 1/4. It has been about a month so far no new issues. I am not mechanically inclined, so it took me about 4 hours total time to complete it.

Just finished this job. Exactly how he said. Cost me about 10 bucks. 6 for 10ft tubing. The rest for fittings at Home Depot.. got it done in about 30 mins. Cool project. Thanks again.

Great job boss. I have the same model and used to be sick walking back into the car with puddles, a damp headliner and wet seats. I went about the hard way accessing the firewall some years ago now. Took a couple tries to fix for me but I used the straw on a lubriderm lotion bottle to extend the nose along with the shaft of a pen superglued and zip tied.

Short and simple, not a lot of BS. Excellent video 👍👍

Thank you 🙏 this weighs a lot easier than trying to unplug the piece from the firewall and then make the repair. Definitely is easier less stress. Thank you.

Awesome fix. Going to do this to mine. Already had the passenger side leak once and I fixed and now it's leaking again.

This is great! Just did this on my 2015 QX60. Best step by step ever!! Thanks so much!!!

Best method I’ve ever seen….will be doing this since my bcm wants to act up due to heavy rain

Genius bro I got a q60 and a g37 and I got both of them with this issue. You are super genious. And a fraction of the hassle and time

Very helpful. Did this today and followed your common sense instructions. Made it a lot easier. Thank you.

Life saver !!! My 2009 fx35 leaking bad. This solved my problem thanks 👍🏻

This 100% fixed my sun roof leak hands-down the best method out there thank you so much

I'm doing this tomorrow! Gonna make a vid on it! Dude, you just saved me so much headache. It rained on my g37 a ton today and I was getting in the car to leave and noticed at least an inch and a half of water in the passenger floorboard. I ended up putting a tarp over the car temporarily. Thank you, man!! Hope this fixes my issue!

So glad I came across this fix. Off to buy some 10-12ft of 3/8 tubing, 2 tee’s, and 2 barbed fittings. This is gonna save me some headache for a 100% better fix compared to some others I’ve seen. Thank you for making this video 👌🏼

Just finished the job and it went well. I carefully routed the hoses to avoid interference with any moving items. I decided to bring each drain hose to the A/C drain separately. By the way, on my 2012 G37X Sedan, the A/C drain hose is 1/2 inch. I bought two 1/2 x 3/8 x 1/2 barbed Ts and it worked great. I took a photo of the tie in but don't think I can upload one here. Thanks again for the idea and video.

G is looking clean boss! Thanks for the leak fix also.

Many thanks brother. After watching your video for about the 7th time, I eventually gained the confidence to solve my M35 sunroof leakage problem myself. The M35 (2009) is a little different than yours, though. First, I notice there was no space for an extra hose beside the factory one. So, I had to pull out the factory one entirely. Then I ran my new hose into the same hole, but it didn't come out in the cabin. Instead, it came out outside (in the hood). I was then able to find a hole through which I passed the hose all the way to the back of the tire (for the driver side). I did the same thing for the passenger side. The driver side is relatively easier. The passenger side, on the other hand, was really tough. I spend approximately three hours on this job, and about two hours of this whole time was spent on the passenger side. This is because I tried passing the hose through a hole underneath the battery tray (close to the IPDM). This proved impossible. I eventually had to pass the hose beside the battery and all the way to the front. That way, I was able to get it out somewhere close to the tire. In essence, my sunroof leakage has been fixed, and I have no fear of rain anymore, all thanks to your video, and a few others I watched. Worthy of note: this work on my 2009 M35 had absolutely nothing to do with the cabin, except for pulling out the A-pillar. I also did not use the T, since I didn't need to connect my hoses to the AC drainage hose. All I used for this job were the hose (about 15ft), two two-way connectors, and some zip locks.

I appreciate the info it helped me out a lot, I spent too much time trying to remove the drain the clean it and this was a much better idea to solve it ❤

Genius! I had to permanently fix mine the other day but all I did was shove some rubber tubing roughly the same size in diameter as the oem plug in the drain hole then fed the sunroof drain tube down that. wish I would have thought of this but no way I'm going through the headache of ripping it out again

I was planning on using the straw method but this seems much more efficient. I washed my G37 recently and had an inch of water on the passenger floor. AWESOME video brother. I'll be doing this, this weekend

Wow bro I have the same problem and whenever it rains hard my carpet on the driver side is always soaked. Great video 👍

Great video my g37 coupe leaks badly I'm going to use your method and I have to pull the carpet up and and remove the seats to properly dry it out and clean it. After that it should be fixed!!! Thank you for the walk through

Dude. You the best. Never thought of this. Thank you

Your a real G! Just didnt cross my mind to modify them instead of fixing them back the same way.

Dude, add me to the list of the grateful G owners! I am not handy at all and was nervous as heck about doing this but I managed to get it done in about an hour! I had a difficult time fishing the new tube behind the dash so I removed the air vent and was able to do it that way. I didn’t have time to test it but fingers crossed I have a dry G this week as we are expecting a bunch of rain. Thanks again!

I have a 2014 q50 and this worked for me perfect!!! Thanks so much for making this video!!!

Thanks a lot man! I found your video today and did the same exact set up and a complete success!

Going to be attempting the fix today I’ll hopefully reply back with only good things to say! Glad you’re helping everyone including me!

Been through this twice with two Gs. Second one did wreak havoc with the electrical but didn't get anything. Will save this vid for when this happens again, because it will!

Litterly the best video creator in the game most detailed and quickest explanation bro come live with me 😂

Just did this today and it worked flawlessly ! Thank you so much !

Found this video right after my car got flooded best method out there

So sick got mine done today in 2 hours and 50$ haha appreciate the video!

Total lifesaver !!! I ended up pulling the headliner off a bit to expose the 2 drain locations. Added new hoses to both sides. Ran it to the ac condenser drain plug under the carpet. 👍🏻 spent $29.99 at Menards (W)

This worked very well. Thank you sir! Only issue I came a cross was during the water test I did before installing the panels by windshield. I had water leak through where I made the connection from existing hose to new hose. I changed from zip ties to the clamps and no leaks after that. Couldn't tighten zip ties more than I already had them! Other that no problems! Thanks again.

THANK YOU!! Just did this on my 2013 g37 today and it works perfectly! Great instructions, really appreciate the video!

very creative. did my passenger side the oem way but will try your method on my driver side.

Omg! Your the man! I own 2011 ipl, and it needs this done! Gottah wait until crazy buffalo weather chills out thoe. Thank you so much for doing this video!

I am definitely going to try this. You are amazing!!

Just did mine was easy once you have an everything together good tutorial, water was running freely

I followed these instructions to a T and it went perfectly. I thank you very much for your awesome video!

I just done did this on my 08 g35 today great idea thanks brother.

Sheesh ez fix, well done bro... Def keep this vid if and when mine goes.

Seems legit 💯👍 im going to try this on my 04 g35, my passenger side floor board gets wet also when it rains.

This just happened to my g37x this vid was so helpful ❤

Damn I’m definitely saving this video, my passenger side started to leak on my 08 sedan definitely doing both sides 🔥

thank you bro for doing this. Unfortunately I replaced mines by going in the dash behind the vents because there wasn't any other videos with a better option. I'll witch to this at a later point.

I Appreciate you a whole lot bro I had some water filling both my driver and passenger😓Got this done in a hour an a half and it’s good to go!!

my bcm got wet from the carpet getting damp from a leak, ripped out the carpet and it’s leaking right next to the seal on the firewall. just ordered the parts for $30, i’ll update when i’m done with this. seems so smart bro never would’ve thought about completely bypassing the original hose

I got same problem on my Infiniti. Thanks for the video. 👍

You are the best👍 Idea out of the box!

I did my drivers side this past weekend and plan to do the passenger this coming weekend. Had a small issue with the ac hose fitting 3/8 or 1/2 so I had to use a ton of sealant and 3 zip ties. I plan to make it better this coming weekend but I tested it and it worked.

Excellent job, Kudos.Thank you for the tip.

thanks dude. this helped a lot.

Thank you. Worked like a charm

Hi, I did this to my moms 2011 Infiniti G25x, got everything (3/8 tees & 3/8 brass barb). I had to order from Amazon 3/8 x 1/2 x 3/8 Tee because it wouldn’t connect to the a/c condenser line. It’s a perfect fit now. Thank you so much for this video helped out a lot!!!!

I love your idea to fix the problem like you said permanently thanks

I can’t thank you enough for this video! A much better solution than trying to replace and/or fix the grommets via the straw solution. Let me know if you’re ever in the Vancouver area, I owe you a steak dinner and many, many beers! 😂

Worked like a charm! Thank you

so well done. thanks for the video.

Thank you so much. This method was so convenient. Found everything in home depot
