Compared to a few weeks ago you look 20 years younger and you look scary healthy.
His gallbladder surgery has helped him in so many ways for the positive.
Got rid of garbage food. Good for him
Timely video Randy! Just fixed my leaky sunroof on my 2016 Ram. Passenger dash and footwell getting wet, water running out of A pillar grab handle! Dealer wanted $1200 to "disassemble" the headliner because the "hose was disconnected". I said no. Took it home and after learning how to be a contortionist, I looked in there and saw the hose was still connected. I used the fattest string trimmer line I could get and fished it down the hole. Sure enough there was debris near the drain at the sunroof clogging it. And yes, my drain exits in the door jamb on the A pillar, too! There isn't much holding the drain tube to the drain fitting so using compressed air might blow the hose off? I liked my string trimmer line approach. I was done in 20 minutes, had to take nothing apart, and saved $1200. A little quality dish detergent worked well to clean the headliner stains. Thanks for the great how to video!!
nice to see the inner workings of a sunroof. I may have left it undone and blew a fan on the damp spots over night or let sit under the hot sun for a day.
To be honest I really enjoy seeing BMWs and Mercedes on this channel and I think the BMW
550 GT is a pretty cool looking car, I seen a white one on the Freeway they are not bad.
I hate sunroofs. They are more trouble than they are worth. Every car I have owned with them gave me problems.
Good job fixing the problem Randy.
Nice I don't have a sunroof on my truck but I'm sure I can use this video to at least help someone out thanks Randy for the information and the instructions on what to do
You look good now that you got rid of garbage food! Keep up the good work
I for one surely fixed my notorious sunroof leak on my 2006 Hummer H3 by professionally 3M sealing the whole damn thing up top (Lol) and then disconnecting the open and close button options, no time for a leaking roof causing other damage 😊 I can still see the sky by opening the interior roof slider, don't need that window open 👍 Thanx Randy 4 sharing how to actually fixing the sunroof drains ✅
glad your back to it randy i really enjoy the content .

Have A Great & Wonderful Day Today There My Good Little Bro Randy Lee Shear Of Auto Auction Rebuilds
Awsome video !
I enjoy watching you solve problems.
Great video😀
Great job Randy!!
Good video Randy, and man you're looking so much better!! You must be feeling so much healthier since your Gall Bladder surgery. Actually, since you got your infection cleared up that you got after you had your surgery!! Peace out!
Fantastic fix Randy. You've just saved many watchers big $$$!
Thank you for another video. I learned something today.
My 2003 Passat W8 had the same problem! I fixed it but what a great video Randy!
Good advice Randy. Gald you got your BMW sunroof drain fix. 😎😎👍👍
Awesome show my friend. 😊
We own a 26 year old Legacy wagon. The driver side sunroof had the same problem as the BMW, the rubber hose comes loose from the plastic drain connection. The old rubber hose was very short and no longer would stay on, so I used a very small hose clamp to hold it on.
Hello Randy, I have owned a handful of modern & non-modern BMWs, and most of these cars will have sunroof drain issues due to lack of service & cleanliness. (Common sense). I like to use thin lawnmower wire & a splash of draino (Diluted with water). On my daily BMW, the water was leaking out the door similarly, But due to my sound insulation not being properly adhered to the door, water would seep through, causing puddles on the carpet. I'd recommend using lawnmower wire & another gallon of water should do the trick, also do not forget about the rear drains.
Thank you so much for this video. Our Nissan Frontier has a sunroof and it is leaking. Oddly enough out of 2 different places first it was where the sunglasses go and not by the driver side visor so this video might help us out with getting it fixed
Great video 📹 👍
Good one! thank you!
PS,
Randy you're looking good and healthy 🙏. Enjoy your video content.
Great video Randy! I guess you and I are alike - I really like these cars - they have several "issues" but keep them maintained and spend some (or maybe a lot) of money on catching up on "deferred" work that needs to be done and I think it would be a nice overall practical and fun ride...
Nice car for Nick to learn how to drive?
Good job. 😊
Hello Randy. Trying to fix the leaking sunroof on the 2010 BMW 550xi GT. Good luck on fixing the leak.
You can use the thicker weed wacker line to snake the drain hose if it gets clogged
High pressure compressed air can sometimes detach the pipe from the drain hole.
AWESOME 🤩
Do you need to put a zip tie on the hose so it does not come off again..? Great video!
Someone probably had that sunroof replaced at some point and forgot to hook the drain line
Either that or it was never connected from the factory.
God video 😀
I had a similar issue with a 1998 Renault Scenic (Americans dodged that bullit) with double sunroof. I just cut the tips of the hose in the undercarriage and problem solved apart from that crap of a car that was a problem itself.
My wife’s C300 has a very similar sunroof draining system as your BMW. When it clogged, I used a 500ml syringe and three feet of tubing to push down the drain hole and flush with pressurized water from the syringe. Be sure to hold on the tube and use your body to push the syringe unless you want to wear 500ml of water… Ask me how
I know… You may need to do this two or three times; but eventually you will see the blockage get blown out of the bottom of the drain.
Never had an issue with a leaky sunroof, but this is certainly helpful should one ever leak in the future.
Randy,I had a 323i,the sun roof drains plug up,and you found them,the front fender towards the bottom between the wheel and front door,trash piles up,you have to loosen the bottom splash guard and you will find a pile of trash.
This would have come in very handy a few cars ago for me, I had a car with a pesky sunroof leak that I could never find.
I buy and sell and fix cars and I also do plumbing but I don’t care what people say they mad they can’t do what I do I am happy for everyone success can you start doing rebuilding
Under the carpet there might be 5 inches of foam, older models had that. In effect a giant sponge that never gets rid of water
That’s strange where the water is coming out. I wonder Randy i have a moonroof if i ever have a leak if the holes where clogged in the same spot.
Don’t forget the two drain holes in the back of the sunroof, the reason why the hoses get disconnected is because people use compressed air and then they pop off 😉
I cleaned mine out wit a long piece of wire and no problem and mine is a 04 Toyota 4 runner limited
Hey guys, A better way to clean the drain and see where it drains as well is to use some kinda thin but strong weed eater string. Work it done the whole and woosh. Thank me later!!
I’m not sure where you concluded your way is better it’s definitely another way of doing it though my way works just fine as well
Put a small zip tie on the drain hose
My fathers 2019 Honda Odyssey has that problem on the passenger side, the floor is always soaked
Dont forget to grease the tracks also
I bought my dad’s old car and right before I got it the windshield was replaced and during that process the hose was disconnected and never reconnected. Happens pretty often apparently
Heyyyy
I miss the old 7 series
Had a 745 loved that car
I was told not to use compressed air on those cuz you can blow them apart. They werent meant to hold pressure. I know they make really long pipe cleaners for this.
Air works just fine
A mechanic told me to always blow air backwards through the exit not the entrance.
In this case however wouldn't be helpful.
Another reason I don’t buy cars with sunroofs. The last car I had with a sunroof never got used.
Whoever is watching this video, I hope this day will be a great day.
❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤
another reason i hate sunroofs
And so your first problem starts with you presius BMW. What next.❤❤
I despise sunroofs
XIGTLMNOP😂
I should check this on my Tiburon just to make sure they are ok
