Got my first good rain of the season today and noticed while driving today that I have a leak from the stock driverside roofrack rail right above the steering wheel. How hard is it to remove the headliner to stop the leak without making it sag later and needing to replace it?

 

This is not common, are you sure it is the roof rack and not the drain tube for your sun roof? They are known to plug up or become disconnected.

 

Heh, well I got a tree branch through the seal on the right front roof rack a few weeks ago, it's leaked a few times. Got the plugs here to remove the rails when I get around to it anyway though.

 

I initially checked around the sunroof but it was completely dry from the inside. Only thing I could think of at the time was the roof rack since its attached at that spot.
