Unhappy

after rain (doesnt have to be that heavy) my roof lining gets soaked, particularly by the rear corners of the sunroof, but if the rain is really heavy, the front corners soak aswell!
i could put up with the wet lining, as it doesnt drip, its just that when you pull out the seatbelts, they are wet too!

it is a uk car, with an electric tilt/slide sunroof.

anyone had the same problem?

what is the cure?

cheers

ian

Never had any problem, but for a start you should check the drainage ducts. There should be one at each side at the front visible with the roof open which go down the front pillars and drain somewhere under the front. Could be blocked.

cheers graham, will check these ducts this afternoon. sounds a probable thing as sunroof rubbers are never watertight anyway.

will let you know how i get on!

cheers
