This obviously is a serious and STUPID DESIGN FLAW. Why in world would you take a 3/4 in hose and add a fitting with tiny slits in it for drains? That's not only issue!!! On top of it the drain hose was made too short and simply from shrinkage due to steam and heat from leak caused shrinkage of hose, so it pulled drain fitting end out of body opening leading to exterior drain for sunroof draining directly to back of dashboard through all electronics and under carpet. .

Now my sons car is a musty, nasty smelling mess. They should do a recall on these vehicles and pay people back for making them sick to their stomach, causing allergic reactions, headaches,etc. from the smells of mold and mildew. This is a shame on one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
