Seal sunroof and moon-roof leaking

Hi,

Before doing that, the most common cause of them to leak is due to a plugged draining system. I would suggest inspecting and cleaning the drain to see if that takes care of the problem first before you apply a sealant. Chances are that is the cause.

Here are the directions for the procedure. Try this first. It's free to do. LOL

Drain Hose Routing

A drain trough encircles the sunroof window panel and water is drained off by the hoses located at each corner of the housing. A drain channel spans across the sunroof module at the rear of the window panel and directs water into the trough.

1. Ensure that the front drain hoses are routed down the windshield pillars and out the center of the front pillar between the door hinges. Ensure that the hoses are not kinked. Replace any torn or cracked hose.
2. Ensure that the rear drain hoses are routed through the rear pillars and out of the rear lower quarter panel. Ensure that the rear hoses are properly routed in the metal roof slot and are attached in place. Replace any torn or cracked hose.

Plugged Drain Hose

If a waterleak has occurred, inspect for a plugged drain hose at each corner of the drainage system:

1. Open the sunroof window.
2. To test for blockage, pour a small container of water into the module housing drain trough. Inspect each corner to confirm the drain hose is draining water.

Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.

3. Use compressed air, 35 psi or less, to blow out any drain hose that is plugged.
4. Test the system again.
5. If the hose remains plugged, inspect for improper routing or kinks. Refer to Drain Hose Routing above.
6. Remove any hoses that remain plugged.
7. Remove the blockage:

1. Push a mechanics wire through the hose to remove the obstruction.
2. Use compressed air in order to blow out any remaining material.

8. Reinstall the hose.

Disconnected Drain Hose

Inspect the drainage system for disconnected drain hoses. Complete the following steps in order to obtain partial access to drain hoses and inspect for a disconnected hose.

1. Open the sunroof window panel.
2. It is only necessary to lower the headliner. Only do those step in headliner replacement that will lower the headliner enough to gain access to the part. Refer to Headlining Trim Panel Replacement.
3. Connect any disconnected hoses.
4. Ensure that the rear drain hoses are properly routed in the metal roof slot and attached in place.

Let me know if I can help.

Hi,

Okay. Most times it is nothing more than a plugged drain. When you say roof rails, what exactly are you referring to? Do you mean the luggage rack on the exterior of the vehicle? If so, yes. The headliner needs to stay down to access the bolts. Can you upload a picture for me to see?
