qha_vn Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 got ls400 with 90 miles on it. i open the sunroof glass the yesterday and found that the weatherstrip is torn and hard. it allows water comes in between the glass and the support metal and then down to the seats where can i buy the new rubber weatherstrip? thanks
qha_vn Posted October 16, 2007 Author Posted October 16, 2007 i did search a lot during last 2 days, still no hope is there a way to "restore" or repair the existing one? any idea?
lenore Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I doubt that is your problem. The drain hoses are probably clogged. There are two in the front and two in the back which allow water to drain through the pillars to the ground...You need to find the openings and see if they are clogged.
qha_vn Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 i removed the sunroof glass one sunday and pour water directly into the hoses and water was all coming down to ground. i then used electric tape to cover the gap between roof metal and the glass, then pour water again over the roof, water still comes into the font seats through the gap between the weatherstrip and the glass (not the metal roof) the experiment tells me which one is bad
lenore Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 dID WATER come down all four corners of the car....???? there are four drain holes....
qha_vn Posted October 17, 2007 Author Posted October 17, 2007 noop, major comes down from front right corner (above passenger seat) and from front left corner under really heavy rain
lenore Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I hope we are on same page, There are four drain holes in the sunroof area, all are necessary. The hoses go down each of the four pillars of the roof support, front left, front right, left rear, right rear. The hoses usually exit in the wheel well areas.
qha_vn Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 sorry i mean water comes into the car from only one corner of the sunroof. i know there are as many as 4 drain holes/ hoses letting water out of the car
