Default Sunroof drain tubes, where are they?

The sunroof drain tubes are supposed to drain to the wheel wells. For the life of me I can't see where they pop out from? Where exactly are they?

Try this, get a bottle of water (preferablly the ones with a closable squirter), open your sunroof, and squirt a little water along the insides of the sunroof. Then look at your wheelwells and see where the water is coming from. Keep a towel handy, just in case if the water spills into the car.

You can also do this, open your hatch, pull back the liner and locate the hoses. Follow the path of the hoses to locate where they are placed in the wheelwells. I hope this helps.

Ok, is your GSR a 4 door? If so, open your trunk then. Pull back the lining (carpet) on the side and you should see semi clear plastic tubes. Those are your drain tubes.

They are built into the fron and rear pillars/columns, only way to get to them is by cutting the pillars in half or remove all of your interior and sunroof

Sorry but that's the only way my friend.

Hmmm my friend has a GSR. She and I pulled off the plastic mouldings and carpet and saw the tubes back there. Oh well, maybe those aren't it.

well, the dealer reamed the tubes out and fixed the leaking i was getting when it rained. they said they plug sometimes. since they did that i was curious as to exactly how to access them. I looked carefully and can't seem to see them.
