Rear sunroof drain exits on avant?

[31satara]

Following an earlier post regarding leaks and wet rear seats. Can anyone tell me where the rear sunroof drain pipes run and exit (and how to access them)? On my avant they don't exit through the grommet just behind the bumper as it seems they do with saloons. Any ideas? Thanks.

I've finally solved it - hopefully this may be of use to others.
Had a good look underneath, couildn't find the exits. Started taking off the plastic cover in the wheel arch - couldn't see the drain and wasn't keen to take the whole thing out (very messy!). Tried from above. Removed the little light just above the pillar - could see the white drain pipe. Then removed the edge bit of seat (pull at top, wiggle to unlatch middle then push down to detach at base). Removed the bit of plastic trim running up the edge of the pillar. (Remove screw that was behind seat bit, pull (quite hard) to detach from two metal clips - be a little careful not to damage the top of this bit). Remove roof handle (two screws). Pull off rubber strip along top of door frame. Now the headlining can be eased down to get fingers and a screwdriver in. Ease the rubber pipe off its connector then thread through the hole where light fits. The first one I cleared by blowing down it. The second one needed more - I used a bike gear cable - did the trick. Reassembly was easy - a bit of silicon grease helped ease the pipes back on. Job done and tested, water does indeed flow out from somewhere behind the plastic cover in the wheel arch.
