Rx300 Sunroof Drain Holes?

[PCM]

Hello,

Does anyone know if the RX300 ( and RX350? ) has sunroof drain holes?

Regards.

I would assume that if a car has a sunroof it will have drain holes. On the LS there are two at the front corners and two at the rear. One of my previous LS's had a flood due to the drain holes being blocked, setting the alarm off at 4 am!

Thank you. Certainly found two at the front, and gave them a good blow...

What did you blow them with? There is a guide on here somewhere about shoving long thin things down the drain holes to unblock them.

I used a straw... but I think I've seen mention of strimmer cord too?

There are four drain holes. The rears tend to get blocked up at the exit point on the floor of the vehicle.

I bought some thick strimmer line, 4mm I think it is. If you do it gently you can go all the way through.

[PCM]

Thank you.

Are there any other obvious drain holes around an RX that should be cleared before the Winter rains?

( And following the Summer rains :( )

Regards.

Open the tailgate and pour some water down the side channel. The water should run behind the rear light trim and come out onto the bumper. That channel may need clearing.

The light clusters have a seal on the back of them that can come loose resulting in water getting into the lights and possibly into the boot. Make sure you don't see signs of water at the bottom of the light cluster.

Similar with the bonnet, open and pour water around the wipers. The water should run out into the engine bay.
