Does anyone know how to clear out the drain holes in the roof of the 960/S90? I drove the car out of the drive way to test ride it and water started coming out of the dome lite and poured down the back pillar.

 

I found this info on another Volvo site: http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/faq/Body...l#SunroofLeaks

I'm going to try to figure where these drain holes are and try to get them cleared. If anyone has any more info on how they took care of this I would appreciate the input.

I also need to know if there is a way to clean junk out of the sunroof area where the shade slides back. I can hear leaves and twigs in there.

 

I was able to get the drain lines cleaned out on the car. The front drain holes are easy, just in the front edges of the sunroof.

As for the back ones, I got a coat hanger and straightened it out as best I could and put a little bow in it. I then opened the sunroof about 3/4 of the way back and slid the hanger along the edge and poked around a little. I then put the car on ramps and poured water along the edges of the sunroof hole and it did drain out just behind the rear tires on both sides. The strange thing about the drains is that it does not have a visable exit hole, just drains out of the panel back there.

To get the other debre out of the sunroof chamber I just drove around with the sunroof at different stages of open and the stuff blew out a little at a time.

I will say this about water getting into the head linner and coming out of the light assembly, etc. I think that water gets into the actual glass seal area, not down the tracks, but I can be wrong.

 

In the case of an 850, the entire sunroof assy has to be dropped in order to gain access to the rear two drain holes. I am not sure if this is the case with 960/S90; see what Tech and other model-specific experts have to say.

The sunroof assy is VERY heavy. It can be done by one person but I would recommend having an assistant for your safety.
