Sunroof leaking problem

[prostho@netscape.net]

Hi, i am new here.. Anyone here from Vancouver B.C. Canada???

i am having a sunroof leak problem in my car.. anyone here had that
problem before? i have no idea where the water come from becoz there
doesn't seem to be a build up of water that it overflows, so the
drainage is working fine.. its not a big leak, it just makes the top
of the cloth trim panels a little bit wet and have a few water drops
from time to time but i am afriad that this might turn into a big
problem.

Would adjusting the sunroof help this? i have no idea how to do this
since the haynes mannual doesn't mention it but my friend says that u
can somehow adjust the sunroofs... i heard that replacing the rubber
around the sunroof would cost a lot and i wouldn't want to replace it!

It will. It's chronic. It's the moonroof seal.

If you'd like a heart attack, ask your dealership what it costs to
replace the moonroof seal.

Yup! That's basically what needs to happen.... or you can take
some silicone caulking to it.

4 of them.

hmm... where are the 4 drain holes located??? i dun see any standing
water around the sunroof so it seems like the drain holes are working
fine...

i guess there are 2 to the rear of the car, becoz the drains are
angled toward the rear.. but i don't know where the other 2 are.
