Where's the leak?
 
alright, i located where the water is entering the inside of the car from......

ok, the front of the headliner......the long plastic piece that snaps on the front to hold the headliner in has 5 clamps......water is coming through these clamps when it rains.......now how is watering getting in there???

do you have a sunroof??? it could be the seal of the sunroof that has gone bad and the water tubes are clogged

Zer0 Cylinder 05-01-04 08:30 PM

hmmm anyone?

The seal on the sunroof is not ment to keep all the water out. That is why there are four water drains on each corner of the sunroof.

To check your drains open your sunroof and get some water. Also, pop your hatch open.

Pour water in each corner and see what happens. The back two drains drain out of those plastic vents where the hatch seals. The front two drains behind the front wheels.

Just check each drain and see what is pluged.

You can get to the rear sunroof drain tubes by pulling the b pillars. Not sure how you get to the front drains besides pulling the a pillar.

I guess you could cut the tube and blast compressed air into it. Then get a barbed connector to splice it back together.

Good luck

this sounds fun.

Zer0 Cylinder 05-02-04 11:56 AM

i wonder if pouring drano down them will hurt

Zer0 Cylinder 05-02-04 05:13 PM

hmmmmm.......tested all 4 drains, they work fine........

i flooded the thing with water, NONE leaked in the car......the water has to be coming from something else.......say the windshield?

nothing visible would indicate this - im taking the windshield to a professional tuesday
