Sunroof leak

[Aj Demming]

I have a leak I’m assuming from the sunroof. When it rains water gathers under the driver side mat. What can I do to solve this. Thanks

It is possible, but it is also possible that you have a leak in the cowl area.

Get the garden hose out and direct the spray to only the sun roof (not the cowl area) and see if you get fresh water under the mat. If not, then reverse and spray the cowl area (not the sunroof area) and see if you get fresh water under the mat.

There are drains in the sunroof area that sometimes get clogged with road dirt. You can check those out, while you are inspecting and assessing.

Thanks. So I tried clearing the sunroof drains first just incase they were clogged and poured water in both drains. On the passenger side the water made it through the drains to the ground. On the driver side it entered the drain easily but never made it to the floor. When checked under my mat it was damp. So I’m not sure what that means

You can run weed eater line up through the drain to help clear it.

You can change the gasket if needed. It is kind of a pita putting the now one on. I did it a few weeks ago. No more leak.
