Problem overview

Some Toyota Avalon owners report experiencing wet rear footwells due to disconnected or clogged sunroof drain tubes. This issue can lead to water pooling in the interior, particularly in the rear footwell area, if the drain tubes become disconnected. Owners are advised to check the drain tubes near the B pillar behind the sunroof to ensure they are properly connected to prevent leaks. Symptoms of a clogged drain tube may include a wet headliner, water dripping from the headliner, damp carpet, and water pooling in footwells. To address these clogs, some owners find success using tools like a flat plastic drain snake or weed wacker string to clear blockages and restore proper drainage. Regular inspection and maintenance of the sunroof drain tubes can help prevent these water leak issues, ensuring a dry and comfortable interior.
