    sunroof drain cleaning

    I believe the best thing to do is to check the drain tubes where they end and remove and clean the filters. I believe the filters are the primary cause of the clogs. On my 2013 only the front two drain hoses have filters. The two in the rear do not have any that I could see. It appears there's...

    sunroof drain cleaning

    Here's a link to download a complete HTML copy of the 2010-RM. You can open it on your computer. After reading the section on the Sliding Roof/Convertible (different name than Moon Roof as seen in the OM) it appears that I may to need to replace the SLIDING ROOF DRIVE GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY. There...

    sunroof drain cleaning

    Interestingly, after having issues opening my sunroof yesterday and using the reset method successfully which I mentioned previously in this thread (holding the slide button and tilt up button simultaneously) my sunroof will not open nor reset today. The tilt still works fine. However, if I push...

    sunroof drain cleaning

    I've never left it outside with the moon roof open. However, the outer seal on the moon roof is not designed to keep the water out 100%. And if parked outside the seal can become stiff and start to deteriorate due to heat from the sun. If there's a deluge of rain (like we experienced in...

    There is no guide as this is Toyota's way of selling more service and parts to make money. If you park your 4Runner in a garage it will be less of an issue. If it's outdoors and rains a lot it most certainly can become an issue. I would recommend keeping the water channel inside the moon roof...

    sunroof drain cleaning

    I had the exact same issue with my 2013. Prolonged drought and no issues. Once those atmospheric rivers started it was all she wrote. Leaking all over the place. I first took it toyota to clear the clog. Of course all they did was blow in compressed air which appeared to solve the problem. $200...

    sunroof drain cleaning

    I recently discovered the 4 drains on mine were clogged after several years of California drought. When all this crazy rain crazy rain started in December 2022 I tried everything I could think of to unclog them but it was a no go (compressed air, snake, etc). As it turns out, the clog was where...
