Why is water from my sunroof drain leaking into my car?

[Conner]

It is pretty sad that my 2017 IONIQ hybrid gets water leaks when it rains. I thought there would be a drain tube or am I missing something? Where does the water flow from the sun roof and how do I keep it out of the inside of my car?

Yeah, that's pretty sad.
For sure it must be a drain. It could be hidden, though! I read about a similar problem for Saturn. There must be a drain tube. Check again.

In the manual, it says the truck's wiper movement improves the aerodynamics. Something like that.

That's why it's important to clean the drain holes. To unclog them, use an air compressor and sprayer.

It’s frustrating dealing with this, especially since I thought the design would prevent water from getting inside.

I hadn’t thought of using an air compressor. I’ll give that a try to clean the drain holes and see if it helps with the leaks.

I know what you mean! But what the dealer or a serviceman has said?

I haven't contacted the dealer yet, but I found a fix. I cleared the sunroof drain tubes, which were clogged, causing the leaks. After that, the problem seems to have stopped.

That's awesome news! But is it a long-term solution?
