Apologies for raising this again.................but I seem to remember some time ago that someone posted instructions and pictures on how to clear the pano roof drains but for "love nor money" I cannot find the thread/page! I don't suppose anyone has bookmarked it and would be so kind as to send the link???

Thanks, could you post a link because I'm not sure if I am on that Facebook Group?

There are several youtube videos which detail this, including snipping the ends of the drain bungs to aid out flow.

That’s probably the best Macan drain video, albeit it doesn’t reference the front corner drains in the pano roof aperture.

There’s also a Porsche Club Maerica tech talk on YouTube that deals with issues on Macan, cayenne etc. it’s rather length live tech chat video but easy to skip through for relevant items.

So am I right in thinking that if the sunroof seals are good and you don’t open the roof in the rain, there will be no water to drain??
I’m just not clear on what water is being drained here…
