Roof leaking

[Chris Joyce]

I'm assuming the water leak I have is coming from my sunroof. It leaks in the gap between the interior light and sunroof switch. It also has leaked from the inside of the sunroof on the passenger side. Any suggestions on what to do besides park in a garage?

Sounds like the sunroof drain tubes are plugged

As l1tech said,



it is common for these to get plugged and then the water will find another path.



In most cases you can open the roof and blow the drains out with compressed air.



Then run water through them and blow them out again..

Almost annually I clear the drain tubes on my ST (01) sunroff. Use a small diameter clear hose and a a light source of vaccuum, such as a shop vac and use your hand to make the connection between the shop vac and the small hose. Carefully lead the hose down the drain tube. Also carefully use a short piece of weed trimmer line to dislodge stuck items in th drain tube, then return with the vaccuum. Finish the job with a solution of bleach and water to kill any mold or alge growing in the tube.
