Water leaking FRONT of cab, out from dome light switches

[Todd Z]

Just haven't checked the obvious yet But was wondering if any one had the same issue.



2010 Adrenalin, after a heavy rain we get water drips out of the front dome/curtsey light switches.



sometimes its a lot and others its not.



Windshield has not ever been replaced.



I have not checked the drains on the sunroof, or the seal yet. But if any one had the exact same problem?



Thanks !

Todd,

It could be the drains, but there is also a metal gutter system around the sunroof and that may have rusted through and is causing the leak.



That happened on my wife's 2003 Saturn in just a few years, while it was still under warranty. I thought it was clogged drain tubes too, but the dealer said that the gutter pan had rusted through !! Wow, talk about cheap junk cars...:angry:



The replaced the gutter pan and that fixed the problem. It did leave a very small rust stain on the headliner but they said they would not fix that under warranty???:angry::angry:



I was able to clean most of the rust stain off to where it was not noticable unless you were looking for it. I traded the Saturn and my 2003 Sport Trac in when I bought my 2008 Mercedes.

I've had it do that a few times since I bought my '01 Trac in 2003. But it was definitely after my warranty was over.



I had figured out that it only happens when parked on angle, meaning front end is just slightly lower than the rear end. Never looked into why - I just make sure anywhere I park is sloped so it favors the front to be slightly higher. That's the easier fix for me. :grin:



My driveway is a 1-2% slope and I always back in as it had done it once or twice there after sitting in pouring rain. I've never seen it leak in a downpour while driving down a steep road.
