qha_vn Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted October 16, 2007 Share 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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qha_vn Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 noop, major comes down from front right corner (above passenger seat) and from front left corner under really heavy rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted October 17, 2007 Share 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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
