My accord is cursed asf. Driver's side carpet got wet, looked over and saw the drain pipe disconnected from the drain port, alright no problem. BUT GUESS WHAT. dont wanna sound stupid but its not going into the port due to its lenght. Also i think the asshole who last owned this cut the pipe diagonally at its opening. So i ordered another one OEM was like $6 bucks. Now i need to know. How do i replace the sunroof drain pipe :banghead::mf_pcwhack::/

I havent replaced one but I while you are in there make sure there are no clogs. Clear out the entire draining system. The PO could have cut it due to a clog that was causing issues.

but he cut it and didnt reconnect it, however it was in that small pcket hole where water was spilling out and ended up going to the carpet. the way the PO cut wasnt enough to reach correctly into the drain port. i hope its a simple fix.

The PO did NOT cut your hose on a diagonal. That's a factory cut and its designed to fit into the rubber fitting. I replaced both of my hoses after I got tired of having wet carpet too. I didn't order the same poorly engineered oem hoses and instead solved the issue with my own ingenuity.

Total cost for this project was less than $10 and after several months of heavy rain I haven't had wet carpet once.
