roof drain tube

[tewitt1949]

I understand there is a drain tube on each side, in the windshield piller. I'm just wondering where the water comes from? is it condisation coming off the roof? I got new tubes for mine and was just wondering.

If you are talking about the windshield drain tubes then they really aren`t in the pillars. They are located in the gutter in the area just before the windshied starts to curve back. The moisture would be from the glass sweating.

Or more likely a leak.

Well, sorry, I may be wrong, I thought there was a tube from the roof area that ran down through the windshield pillar, and dumped out down by the vent area. I don't know if it makes a difference but I have a nomad.

The drain is at the sides of the base of the windshield - on all cars, since they're all the same right there.

There's a similar drain in the rear windshield on non-wagons.
