Leaking Sunroof

Recommended Posts

My sunroof has started to leak. The water is coming above the sunroof motor. What to do? :(

Mine does this occasionally, I think the drainage holes get blocked.

Sounds like the sunroof drains are blocked. You may be able to use compressed air in the front corners to blow them through - gently though or you may blow the drain tubes off. Failing that it may mean dropping the roof lining down and doing it that way. Unless you can locate the other ends and gently blow through them in reverse. Make sure you cover your interior as the sunroof will be open

I blew the front drains and I heard air coming through. I probably have to remove the headliner at some point. As my sunroof has rust near the drains could the water come from for example rusted through drain (as I said before water is only coming above the motor)?

Sunroof motor has silicone between the motor casing and the plastic drain. Putting a new silicone stopped the leak :). Also i had water inside the motor where the gears are :wacko: . A bit difficult to explain, I hope it helps someone.
