Rear sunroof drain exit location help

[Cmull2]

Hey Folks, recently ran into an issue with the driver, passenger, and rear passenger driver side floor boards being soaked with water after a bunch of rain.

I *believe* I have cleared the two front drains, verified the grommets are through the firewall, and verified the battery cowling is securely attached under the windshield.

With all that being said, I still need to clear the rear sunroof drains and cannot get to them from the top. I’ve seen there is a diagram for the 2 front locations but haven’t seen one for the rear exit locations. My hope was to go up from the bottom with some weed eater wire and then follow up with air like I did on the front drains but am having a time finding the exits. A diagram or some help would be greatly appreciated.

My 2020 ST had a rear drain pipe that was crimped or mis-routed, Dealer body shop had to go in thru the rear pillar and correct the placement and it never happened again.

Thanks for posting this. I was curious myself where the drains come out at.

So question, does the rear A/C drain also come out at that same location behind the passenger rear wheel area?
I seen a bunch of water trickling out in that area when my vehicle is running and the rear A/C is on.

The Evap core is in that corner, not sure where the drain is, I remember seeing water spots on the top of the muffler heat shield when I upgraded the exhaust.

That’s probably what was dripping. It was pretty humid that day.

Thanks for this, will be handy if it happens to me again. Drains got plugged once but dealer took care of it with new car warranty.

It going to be a pain in the ass removing the sun roof just to get to the drains though *sighs*

Many, many thanks for this. Didn’t happen for a while and just got a bunch of rain and the floors are soaked again. So I’ll try cleaning those drains once I find them and then move to removing panels and seeing if something is disconnected. Thank you again!
