Sun Roof leak?

i had the same problem man, take out your back tailights and you will see some rubber hosing exiting into the back wheel well on each side. more than likly they are clogged up. it took me 6 months to find it but after i un clogged them and took of a filter type device that is attached to the hose my sunroof hasnt leaked since and you can also check your drain holes at the top of the sunrrof

There's actually 4 drain hoses on the Si sunroof, One for each corner. The two rear ones exit right past the taillights, behind the rear wheels. And the two fronts come down inside the A-pillars past your feet and exit behind the front wheels.

To check to see if you're clogged, just dump some H20 in the sunroof track in each corner. Obviously, it should come out on the ground, not in the car.


Have Fun

You should be able to get at them without taking out the tails, just pop out those plastic pieces. I think the ones in the front are under the fender liner
