my sunroof on my legacy (MY94) is leaking water, its getting in somewhere!!! took it to TSL, they hosed it and took a look, and nothing came in!!! anyway, few weeks later (yesterday) started to leak again..anyone know any suggestions on stopping this??

ive had a look, cannot see anything obvious, i am just assuming its getting past the seal somehow, can these be easily replaced, fixed? any help appreciated as its raining lots now

cheers

Had a similar problem with an RS Turbo (in my younger days!!!)

Never happened when there was a bit of rain, but whenever there was a substatial downpour i'd go to it to find a puddle in the footwell!

Turned out to be one of the drainage pipes from the sunroof had come off (probably rotted or something and so water was coming straight into the car.

May be this, hope it helps, or a least eliminates one possible problem!

cheers, will take a look when its dry

 

2 reasons for that: one is the mentioned drain pipes, the other is the cr*p they used at the factory to seal the sunroof rails to the frame. It is most likely dried, cracked and turned into a powder.
The solution is to remove the sunroof from the car, remove the rails from the frame, clean them from the old cr*p and use some sanitary sealant (non-acidic) to re-seal the thing. I did this to my car myself ~2 years ago, took 4-5 hours. Never leaked since.
BTW, my pipes were OK... only the factory sealant had disintegrated.

 

cheers, if only i knew what i was doing/confident enough to remove my sunrof, and do that stuff, will see if anyone will aid me in this, cus i aint letting TSL charge me for 5 hours labour anyone want to earn a few beers
