    Hello everyone!

    Been driving my car on a daily basis without issues and without being a nuisance to other drivers and all I can say is the experience is out of this world! Still smiling!

    Anyhow, a friend and I parked the car and we sat down and I noticed something sticking out underneath the rear part of the sideskirt under the car. It was under the driver side by the rear wheel. I placed my finger and felt a tiny vacuum sensation. I don't know how long the hose has been sticking out and unplugged.....no CEL, no change in driveability. Can someone shed the light and let me know what it is? And whether I should plug the hose? I tried pushing the hose in and it's pretty difficult to push into the panel. I also noticed the the hose goes up through the skirt and into the area by the gas cap, if that makes any sense.

    Thanks everyone! Please see attached pictures. Sorry for iPhone photos.

    That's for the AC drain I think, or something that allows water / condensation to come out. That's were mine is sticking out as well

    That makes sense. Find it unusual that it sticks out blatantly like that.....

    Yea the little protrusion kinda bothers me. Almost tempted to cut a little of it so it doesn't look like someone pulled a hose.

    Thanks guys for fast responses!

    I believe that is the fuel fill overflow. Regardless, there should be no vacuum sensation. Need to get your "finger" recalibrated

    Isn't that the drain hose from the motorbay side cover panels? Where also the rain falls through the left and right side mesh of the rear window.

    As Jgivoo said, this is the overflow for the fuel fill. If you open up the fuel door, you'll notice a grommet to the left in the recess. This grommet has a hole in the middle which allows fuel to flow to the ground if you overfill the tank. The expansion tank for coolant has the hose located toward the center of the underpanel (it is also much smaller in diameter).

    Mikael - The drain for the engine bay side panels dump directly onto the underbody panel. No hoses.
