VW Tiguan Mk2 150PD 4Motion : removing the panaromic sunroof vent tube spider traps

 Its a pretty common complaint on VW forums to get water into the footwells of your tiguan.

There can be many reasons but a common cause is that the sunroof drains are blocked and not draining.

VW fitted 'spider traps' small red 5p sized flaps that sit on the end of the tubes, they tend to just collect debri and end up blocking the tube!

So its advised to remove them.

There are 4

2 front tubes that end in the corner of the front scuttle panels , just lift the plastic and push your arm into the corner, they easily pull off (WARNING : only feel and removal the flap , nothing else and be gentle, last thing you want to do is yank it and detach the whole tube)

2 in the rear.

Today and did the front 2, will do the rears soon (given we have a diesel its a little bit harder on one side as the adblue tank gets in the way)

Heres the vw pages for location.
