[Shotimes] Moon Roof Leaking

[Mike Wojton]

The drain tubes go down through the "A" pillars in the front and the "C"
pillars in the back. On my previous car I was getting wet carpeting. I
dropped the headliner and found that two of the tubes were not even
connected to the nipples on the moonroof pan. I reattached them and had no
more leaks.
 The "pan" is the metal piece that is under the roof on the inside of the
car. It's what you see when you open the moonroof and look through the
opening from the outside. If you look at the front corners you will see the
openings where the tubing connects. There are two more in the back corners,
but they're hard to see.
 It might be worth it for you to drop your headliner and try pouring some
water from a cup into the pan and see if there are any leaks. Try to
position the car so that the water will flow towards one corner only, then
test it. Reposition for the other corners. The water exits from the tubes
right behind the front tires and in front of the rear tires.
 I don't know how you could clean them out. You may be able to get something
into the front ones, because you can see the opening, but I would imagine
the rear ones would be pretty tough. They look like they were flexible at
one time, but mine were pretty stiff. Presumably dried out from all the heat
on the roof. Yours may have some cracks in them.
