Frame and Drain Tube Replacement

20-200  

  1. To remove a front drain valve (A) from the body, remove the kick panel, left or right (see page 20-206). Tie a string to the end of the drain tube, then pull the front drain tube (B) down out of the front pillar.

  1. To remove a rear drain valve (A) from the trunk compartment, remove these parts:
  • Quarter pillar trim (see page 20-207)
  • Trunk side trim panel (see page 20-208)

Detach the clips (B) and release the rear drain tube (C) from the clip (D), then remove the drain tube.

  1. Install the frame and drain tube in the reverse order of removal and note these items:
  • Before installing the frame, clear the drain tubes and drain valves using compressed air.
  • Check the frame seal.
  • Clean the surface of the frame.
  • When installing the frame, first attach the rear hooks into the body holes.
  • Make sure the connectors are plugged in properly.
  • When connecting the drain tube, slide it over the frame nozzle at least 10 mm (0.39 in.).
  • Install the tube clip (A) on the drain tube (B) as shown.

  1. Check for water leaks. Let the water run freely from a hose without a nozzle. Do not use a high-pressure spray.
