Looks like a moisture drainage system for the sunroof. I have no idea if our cars have them but that's my best guess.

Just leave them be. When you turn the ignition to the on position you can hear and feel something going through. I wanna say something with the EVAP but I'm not sure.

I agree that its for draining moisture around the sunroof, I think to goes into the same drain as the av for condensation build up. When I took for my A-pillar I was wondering what it was for, now that I see where it goes to, that makes sense!

Thanks! And Joanne's ftw!!! I took those things out but never disconnected the hoses. Not sure what would happen if one were to take the hoses out but I wouldn't risk doing it if the car is not off.

Those hoses are strictly for water drainage from the sunroof tray.

Ah, so the movement going on is air being sucked out somewhere in the trunk area out to the outside air I'm assuming.
