My sunroof is leaking like a SOB.Water seems to flow down driverside rail and through fuse bank.
This December is the wettest month ever on record here in south Louisiana.Couldn't be happening at a better time. :x

Has anyone had this problem and what is the fix.Gasket?

Thanks in andvance guys.

Clean out the drain tubes,one on each corner.Open the sunroof and look in each corner to find them,compressed air works the best.

Thanks Troy,that's exactly the problem.
Went to my dads and used his comp to blow them out.The passenger side blew out fine,but the driver side is completely clogged.
Can I run a wire or something in there to unclog it?

How about a clothes hanger or something similar to a plumbing snake?

ALLRIGHT! FIX'D!!!
Compressed air wouldn't clear the driverside drain,so I finally got some semi dry weather and pulled the tube from the pan and put a suction on it with a shop vac.Pulled rocks and sticks out.

Draining great.
