so come to find out i have a lil leak in my sunroof... i took it to a body shop, and there it was gonna cost me at least a grand, if not more to get it fixed... he gave me the number to another place, and im gonna check the phone book, but has anyone else ever had this prob? and if so, how much did it cost to fix? cuz this is gonna be a minor setback to the mods i wanted to start on...

 

What work was he going to charge you for???

 

Look in the corners of your sunroof cut out on the car. You should have drain holes there. Make sure there clear, you may even have to blast them out to get them to clear. Had this problem with a Honda I had. The roof does drip slightly into the rim, but is supposed to drain out. Don't give the body shop a dime. Clean out your drains.

 

This is good advice. If all else fails you can seal the sunroof permanently. It will never open again but that's less expensive than a $1K repair.

 

thanks for the advice! u may have just saved me $1000...

 

i have the same problem i thought it was the rubber gasket around the window i used a rubber sealer didnt work i tried using washersto lift the sunroof window a little higher cause it was sagging on one end a little i thought this would fix it for sure but nope.ohwell a slight leak when it rains heavy.the sunroof cover will get a little damp but thatsall.ijust gave up i didnt even try to bring it to the dealer they will propbably tell me i need to have the whole sunroof replaced.ill just deal with the problem.

 

$1000 for fixing a sunroof who are they joking we should start a max auto body shop where the labour is freeto maxima owners just share your tips and advice and help everyone save a bit of moeny
