Hi,

Suddenly my '01 S60 has developed a serious water problem when it rains. Through an excellent post by Spideyman which pointed to this superb thread, I discovered that I have a sunroof front drain problem. Water is pooled at the left front corner of the sunroof, and that is the side whose floor is getting wet (the car is slightly tilted toward that side).

I pulled off the A column liner, looking for the drain tube. Everything under the liner was wet, but I couldn't find a drain tube. Maybe it's in the column itself?

My next move is to try to work a soft copper wire down the drain tube from the top. But if anyone can give further insight I would appreciate it - like where the tube actually is, etc.

Thanks,
Paul

 

Ok, the way at this is to take off the grab bar and the sun visor, both by popping the covers and using a 10mm socket, then bending down the roof liner. Volvo uses a metal drain down the A channel, which is impressive. Less impressive is the strait rubber connecting tube that has to go through an S curve, creating two kinks, and then is cut an inch too short to get a double lock at the bottom end. I think a little pipe dope and some airing out and I'll be Ok.
