Is anyone having tire wear prior to the warranty running out on their matrix/vibe due to front toe alignment issue and if so how did you take care of the matter, I'm asking being that I read it in a toyota forum and they supposedly solved the matter w/these so call adjustable cam bolt that need to be place to the front wheel in order to correct the tires from wearing out prior to their warranty...hit me up if anyone knows about this.

@Taxminia0311 YES! Off topic but I did fix one with this problem. Yes, there is an "offset" bolt kit to correct it.

NOTE: Always Toyota is cheaper than the Pontiac dealer for identical mechanical parts! (99.99% of the time.) Often the Pontiac price is almost double the Toyota price! Same parts, different part number.

Thank you so much!!! I have been going crazy thinking that my leak was coming from an new windshield. I went out yesterday in the rain and tried this and found a piece of rubber that I think was blocking the hole. Today it rained all day and my car is dry!!! You saved me a ton of money!!!

@Bswee109 Superb! I am glad this worked for you as well.

Okay, this explains a lot but how do you CLEAN the clogged hoses? I've seen different suggestions-lawn trimmer string (plastic filament stuff) or using an air hose/compressed air...in the past my Toyota dealer apparently used the latter with their "special attachment". Since I'm unemployed, I'm electing to try the trimmer string. I know where the water drains at the fender wells and will try to respond with results later today (no trimmer string-WallyWorld opens at 7)

@filup55 EXCUSE ME but mine was clogged right at the hole entrance. I used a blow gun and compressed air as the hose diameter is larger than the opening at the drain. I did not know that the hose could be clogged deeply inside. It sounds to me like you already know the answer to your question? The weed eater string seems to be the brilliant solution to your specific problem. Thanks for the heads-up. I am sure other people with deeply clogged drain hoses will appreciate this reply.

Hey thanks for this video. I was on my way to have the fellow at the gas station look at my 2002 Toyota Camry because of this leak and decided to google it first and there you were. You saved me a quite a few bucks I'm sure. It was an easy fix but I didn't even know there were drain holes up there.

I currently own a camry with an inbuilt sunroof and have had on occassion a water leak on the two front corners. I wasn't aware of drain holes so I assumed I just didn't have a good seal when I shut the window the previous evenings. I thought Ive been insuring that this wouldn't happen again by opening (not tilting) the window a few inches and reclosing. It has worked thus far as Ive not had anymore leaks but now I see I need to ck for clogs. THANKS for the heads up its much appreciated!

@earltuckian You are the man for posting this vid, thanks so much. I owe you one!

Thanks for creating & posting this video! I've had this problem, on the drivers side, on and off for years- seemed like no rhyme or reason when it would strike. I kept a towel in my car to soak up the water and just lived with it. Then the passenger side just started with the same problem, and I searched to see if others have had this problem- and I found this video. Indeed the holes just inside the sunroof were clogged- it's fixed now and no more leaks! Thanks again!

Thanks for the video, really helped me understand what might be the cause of my leak. Thanks again.
