[s-cars] water leaking from sunroof assembly

[Douglas Landaeta]

Ken,

I have had this problem also, last big rain. Lots of wires up there, took a
hairdryer to it, put the car cover on. PO had a new windscreen installed the
day of my purchase (Maryland legality). I think it had developed a problem
in the sealing against the glass. Especially since we had the freezing and
the thaw and the freezing again. I pushed it (the rubber gasket seal) around
and looked at Mr Bentley (pictures of how the bead of sealant should sit).
It is positioned better now and I have not seen any leaks today (still
watching). IMHO the windscreen job is lacking the proper amount of sealant
bead. While I'm rambling on, I also have a wind noise at speed and can feel
the air coming in towards the bottom driver's corner. Nice to have clean
clear glass, but I'd like to keep the rain and the wind out too.

Bummer part is I took the plastic parts down and when I put it back together
(a week later) the dome light switch doesn't seem to function correctly.
Almost like its missing a small part. That was today.

Roight, so, check the windscreen also. I do need to check those drain holes,
though. I think you need an old speedo cable or something like that to
rooter it out according to Bentley.

After a heavy rain, I noticed water dripping from between the plastic
sunroof control assumbly (where map lights are located) and the headliner.
It seems that the water is pooling inside the assembly (drips faster when I
turn).

I've read about clogged sunroof drains.  Could this be related?

-thanks!
