If a waterleak has occurred inspect for a plugged drain hose at each corner of trough.

  1. Open the sunroof window.
  2. To test for blockage, pour a small container of water into the module housing trough. Inspect each corner to confirm the drain hose is draining water.

  4. Use compressed air, 35 psi or less to blow out any drain hose that is plugged.
  5. Test the system again.
