should have been discussed before

This morning driving in a pouring rain and discovered the the corner of the moon roof dropping water right above the passenger seat.


despite my car age from 2000, it never happened.

I opened up the roof later but did not find much water "inside of the moon roof mechanism"

so what happened and any fixes?

thanks in advance

 

Mostly likely you have a clogged tube or the seals need replacing.

 

The sliding roof has 4 drain tubes (one in each corner of the track) It is a SUNROOF or sliding roof. A moonroof is described as having a clear or glass panel.

so it is called sun roof then,

just in case the tube is clogged,so how can I clean it up. I cant hire a plumber for that(just joking)

 

I believe you would have to remove the headliner to get to the tubes.

Somebody might have a better way, but that the only way I see at getting to them.

 

The front ones can be cleaned with a blast of compressed air. The problem is that if the hose comes loose the fault becomes worse.

so its normal for the sunroof to leak in water. Its just constantly draining. I will be checking mine soon.

 

happened on my car for the first time

 

If the fronts can be cleaned with a little compressed air, why cant the rear? What is the best way to take care of unclogging the rears? Thanks in advance!
