Default Q5 Leaks ?

Noticed some threads about Q7 leaks from sunroof drain tubes or seals....

Since it NEVER rains in Texus thought I'd ask....

We have not had any issues with the Q5 in car washes, etc...
but just wanted to ask if any have heard anything ?

The sunroof drains can clog, especially if parked outside. We received a letter from Audi, on my wife's A4, regarding the potential for clogging and thusly leaking into the cabin. Probably the same issue on many other vehicles with sunroofs. She doesn't park outside under trees so I'm sure it's not an issue.

Good point...
maybe there is a clean out procedure I'll ask about at next svc interval.

Stillgoing, may be coming to Lynchburg, va Sunday if needed for Company Coverage ...

what's there to do around there not on the normal tourist maps ?

Be great to see a way to do ourselves BEFORE an issue arises.
