Water leaking from the sunroof control....

After about 3-4 straight days of rain, I got a leak from the sunroof control. Has anyone else experienced this or know where the leak may be coming from?

Check the sunroof drain hoses for either blockage or disconnections.

That happened to me once when I left the sunroof open and it got into the sunroof control. Just take the panel off and empty it. Easy peasy.

This is the same issue im having. I went to an auto glass place because it has my car floor soaked. I payed 80 bucks and its the same issue. I read on here somewhere that there is a kit to retrofit the window. ANyone else have any ideas.

Does anybody have a illustration of the Drain Hose tubes?

I seem to get a small wet spot on where the headliner meets the A pillar when it rains, I believe the Drain hose isn't properly routing the water down into the fender.

May want to check the seal for the windshield? Mine is messed up at the bottom, so I get a small leak onto my feet in heavy rain....

Thanks for the Picture Jatan.

Is it possible to clog a drain tube and force the water out to the remaining 3 drains?

Doubt it - if one is clogged then some water might get out from the other tubes but most of it might just "puddle up" and start leaking (this is the case from most people)

I'm trying to fix my leak now, I also have water on the drivers side floor and the corner of the A - pillar is wet . I pulled of the molding on the A-pillar but this does not expose any hoses. Do I need to remove the head liner to see the hose to see if it's disconected?

Ya - pull away some of the headliner near the a-pillar.
