I was taking out my antenna about a few weeks ago and water was standing in the space beneath it. There is a little hose going from the antenna to the outside of the car that was stopped up but i dont think it would have anything to do with water draining from the car so whats going on? im guessing water is not saposed to be there so do i have a drain clogged up or what? I been under the car looking for a drain and dont see it Ive been looking abot from the mudflap back can anyone help out? kinda sucks i dont want it to rust

do you have a sunroof? there are two hoses that go from the sunroof to the quarters back there where water that gets in around the sunroof drains to.. supposed to drip out a hole somewhere.

FIX THAT - I have a celica in my drive way with a big ass rust hole where the someone didn't correctly replace the antenna drain. The drain hose is supposed to go into a hole in the frame / unibody (towards the spare tire) that will fix it, and get rid of the water!

I think i got it fixed i tightened the silver thing that screws onto the antenna mast where it meets the quarter panel and i cleaned out the little drain hose. I left half of the fasteners out that hold that trunk plastic in though so i could keep a eye on it from time to time. I really dont think it will leak since i sprayed a water hose right on it but im just paranoid lol
Thanks for all the replies |
