Sunroof
they just built this automatic carwash near my house. its one of those that pulls your car along. anyway, the high pressure rinse going over my sunroof causing water to spill in the car. if you're looking up at the glass, the side that faces the rear where the seal comes together,,,thats where its leaking. i know nothing of sunroof repair. i guess i need to replace some seals. any tips?

Must be the water hitting the roof at an odd angle with high pressure. Usually the water that goes in just gets drained out through a hose that goes through the chassis and out towards the road.
Good luck, though. Recently here in Juarez it has rained a great deal. A month ago my car ended up with the entire floor soaking wet. A wet interior just isn't fun.

i agree. i had a leak on my rear door. it was a horrible thing. the whole car was fogged everytime i went to get in. when it was finally dried out it still smelled like stale water.

I have experienced the same problem, my sunroof got all fogged up and actually dripped about 5 drops during the highpressure car wash, as long as you roof does not leak when it rains who cares right? then i went through the same carwash about a month later and my sunroof was like a champ no fog no water leaks..... Probably just that crazy carwash.

i have the same problem, it looks like the weather strip that goes around the sunroof was made too short and theres a gap... i didn't know what to do and since that hurricane was coming i just plugged it with rubber, alot of people told me to fill it up with silicon
