Default sunroof chanels

where do they go? and can i wayoyl them?

i've a few bubbles around the holes and i want to sort it soonish. but can i pour waxoyl down there to try and stop it from happening again once i've sorted it? or will i block something and make it worse?

Ta, Joe

lol, thats what i'm trying not to do!

so should i just fix the bubbles at the top and leave them then?

tbh, i didn't know there was rear ones i've seen the rubber tubes under the rear bumper, but thought they were for the inner rear arch to drain or something. (behind the boot padding at the sides etc)

the drain holes in the roof ie the two at the top of the a pillars and the two at the top of the c pillars, do these have hosing from the holes themselves all the way down or does any water drain in and down the cavity until it at the bottom then is drained via a rubber hose ????. the reason i ask is on my last rs turbo i had a repair on one of the a pillars and when i looked inside there was just a cavity.

the pipes go down to the sill
i usually put a large hole in the sill with a big airline tube going into the drain pipe so it drains straight to the floor
