2014 C2S - Clear hose hanging out of side skirt behind front passenger side wheel
I just noticed a small, clear hose hanging from directly behind the front wheel. It is coming out of what seems to be a small space between the side skirt and other panels. I pulled on the hose a little and it feels loose, but I have no idea what it is so just pulled it maybe an inch. The car is a 2014 C2S with 9k miles. I got it with 4k miles from a Porsche dealer, and it has not been in any wrecks to my knowledge. It is of course under warranty, but the dealer is an hour away, so I am looking for advice here first. Anyone know what this is?

My car does have the glass roof, but I have no idea how or where it drains. This is my first Porsche so I know very little compared to other brands of cars I have owned.
Never even heard of that, but I googled it and the type of hose does look like what I saw in the pictures. Is that where the battery is located? I'll go out to the garage and see if I can get some better pictures or more information.
Thank you both for the help!

Your car is a male. You must have driven it spiritedly and gotten it excited.

Well, stop pulling on it.

Battery vent. Go topside, pull off panel to expose battery and pull the vent hose (clear) up a little. It looks dirty on the bottom for obvious reason. Btw, you might have dislodged it already by pulling it from bottom. If so, just pull it back up and reattach to battery.

Thank you for all the replies! I had never heard of a battery vent before. Although I don't think I pulled it lose, I will check later today, and then push it back in as much as possible!
Really appreciate the help!
