Thumbs up Sunroof leaks repaired

For anyone dealing with sunroof leaks!

I was dealing with a large leak on my drivers side that would let water collect inside of the map pocket. I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. Turns out the sunroof glass was not fully secured against the frame of the sunroof. After tightening down the bolts holding it on the leak is gone. After testing with a hose and 2 days of consecutive rain there is no water! Anyone dealing with a leak should try this before dropping the headliner.

Thanks for this tip. I checked mine and all four could be tightened down. My problem with water usually comes when I have parked on a down slope with the front of the car facing down hill. Thanks again!

I did that when installing new drain corners. The bolts were lose and the glass shifted backwards over time. From inside there was a gap between the glass and the rubber seal visible. After centering the glass (measure the gaps from above) and tightening the bolts the sunroof sealed properly again.
