I had that problem, but when i removed the whole sunroof assembly to find the problem, i diddt find anything, and i just put it back on and it stopped, so maybe one of the rubber mouldings was not sitting right, just take off your sunroof and put it back on, that might help.......

[gregc]

....THANKS........I'll try it.......is that a big deal?

[cyberfelon]

mine would hold water and when i would drive it would dump water on me, there is drain hoses attached to the sunroof compartment, they were clogged, took a compressor to the hose and blew them out. no more problems

[gregc]

.....hey cyberfelon that is exactly my problem.....where exactly are the drain holes if I may ask......Tks/Greg

[cyberfelon]

well under the headliner, haha, theres actually four drain hoses, two in front and two in back. in my car i have rear interior stripped out so it was relatively easy to get in the roof panel. take the "oh shit" handles off, (the ones that the back seat passengers grab when scared), open up the hatch and look at the roof panel from there, there will be a rubber molding that joins the metal roof with the inner lining. take that off. around the back windows are some plastic trim pieces that use clips to hold them in place, if you are gentle enough you can pull the top part of these off without breaking the clips. after that you should be able to hang the roof panel down. behind it you will see the black sunroof compartment. at the back are 1/2 " tubes, one on each side. unclip them, pull them off and use your mouth or compressor to blow them out. you should have some nasty gunky shit come out of the other end (right above the rear wheel). assembly is reverse of removal.

PS when you put the hose clips back on, make sure to point them toward the side of the car and not down, i forgot and when i jammed my roof panel back on, they made nice little holes in it.

good luck, hope that helps. sorry bout the crappy directions

......thanks a lot......very descriptive......I should be able to follow that.....we had one of those Houston downpours the other day and I got drenched......first I swore and then it was kind of funny (at least for a minute.....tks again

[cyberfelon]

haha yeah. i had mine parked in the driveway so it was on an incline and could fill all the way up, as soon as i would back up it would go everywhere. after about 3 of those i got tired of it and decided to do something about. so i stripped it all out, and i cannot believe that it had its own little sealed compartment. lol. you from houston? we should meet somewhere if you are.
