Default Help!!

Hi there I have a 2010 f150 Lariat and the drivers side sunroof drain tube is plugged, I blew into just with my mouth (so I don't over pressure the tube and pop it) it and no air escapes. It goes through the A pillar on the drivers side but where does the drain tube exit? I can't find any drawings for that, I just see "mostly they drain at the bottom of the truck" but where? Does anyone have a picture of the routing?

they usually terminate somewhere in the A-post area of the truck

Ok thanks, is it underneath the tuck or on the side of the A pillar? Just wondering because I'm old and gimpy (well not that old but I am gimpy untill I get my hip replaced lol) so crawling under the truck is a bit of an hard thing for me to do

Not a Ford, but I had a Subaru that they came out between the fender liner and the body at the back of the front tires.

There are a few posts about the drain tube on the driver side not being in the grommet and it drains into the drivers floorboard instead of outside during a hard rain. My truck does it. The access is to remove the front fender well and look toward the driver floorboard with a flashlight and you can see it. I haven't put it on a lift yet, but the fix sounds easy enough. It doesn't rain much in Arizona, so I haven't been motivated enough to do it....

Thanks, the leak wasn't on the floorboards, it was from the headliner, it was soaked and water dropped all over the seat, I'll check out that spot when I can it's been raining the last few days here, I ran a cable through the drain tube hose to see if it had an obstruction, it was just a couple of inches too short to go through the whole thing but today there wasn't any water on the seat or headliner, hopefully I dialodged it, but will look at it more when it's not raining

It's been my experience that sunroof drain tubes usually plug up near the exit and the obstruction grows up as more debris drains into the tube. Rootering it out can work, but I'd suggest finding something long enough to reach the end.
