IIght gotta lil problem as it's been raining the past few days in da east coast, water always seems 2 comin through my sunroof and wet up my passenger seat, I was thinking it was the seal, but when i close the sunroof I can see gaps where water can seep through, wats ^ with this

 

The oem moonroofs on these cars are not sealed, they have drain tubes in each corner of the moonroof assembly(4). your drain tubes are clogged with dirt/debris.


These tubes exit out behind each wheel, behind the mudflaps(if your car has mudflaps) Lots of members have had good luck using a air compressor to clear out the tubes of debris.

 

I have much 2 learn bout these 3rd gens lol.......So where do I clean it from the top or behind the wheel as u say

 

Stick the air hose into the exit points behind each wheel.

 

also make sure your sunroof is flush with your roof on the outside. if it is not then water will get around it and leak into the car.

 

This is while im using the compressed air from behind the wheel

 

no, just leave it open and blow through the exit holes that Greeny stated above. then close your sunroof and make sure it also sits flush with the roof of the car as what Brian stated in his post. if it does not sit flush there is your other problem.

 

Oh ok got cha now understood wrong, so after I go through that process let it sit flush, and the next time it rains if it doesnt get wet then solved my problem, if it does get wet them roof isnt sittin flush

 

no, clean the drains after that make sure the sunroof sits flush and then pour water over it and see if leaks again. if it doesn't sit flush obviously it will leak. now again, if it doesn't sit flush then either it might be sitting too high and you have to remove some shims or maybe your sunroof rails are broken and need to be replaced.

 

If nothing else, duct tape will do the trick...

 

Clear silicone, you redneck

 

Sorry, I must be hanging around with Matt and Wayne too much

 

got cha!

 

one more thing if the rails are broken, there is no need to replace the whole sunroof assembly. all you need to do is got to your local junkyard and remove the sunroof from another 3rd gen and ****** the two rails that bolts to the sunroof. easy fix and you are done. only replace these if they are broken. and if that ain't the case then you have to either add shims or remove shims so that the sunroof can sit flush with the roof.

 

Got ya hop it doesnt resort to this

 

both are easy fixing my friend. it is not difficult. just make sure you apply some grease when/if you need to install the new parts.

 

Oh ok I didnt think it was hard it just always raining so theres no time 2 fix

 

Im having problems with sunroof also. It leaks on the passager side. When I look on the outside it looks like its the seal. Also my sunroof dont open all the way.It just left up a couple of inches and thats it. Can anybody suggest what to do>? Thnx

 

check out the rails that the sunroof slides in, they may be broken

 

Does it go up and then seem like it get stuck? Mine did that for a while and then I had to adjust it a little by loosing the assembly and tapping it forward a bit. It was mostly due to my having poorly installed it in the first place.

 

yea it seems to get stuck. But it just started acting up. I was able to open it all the way when i bought the car. The cover you push and pulls on the interior doesnt want to close it gets stuck. So i need help. lol

 

check the drains on either side of ur sunroof between the frame of the car an the sunroof, that always works for me one of the drains could be pluged ie pine needles, dirt,ect... hope that helps
