Hondaman900 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 My '91 Legacy sunroof seems to be leaking. Water will drip at a fast rate in a carwash, dripping down the front passenger side corner onto the seat. With the rainy season about to start, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should fix this? I really don't want to silicone it shut. Thanks, Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The rubber seal on the glass plate isn't supposed to be 100% water tight. The roof "cavity" has four drain pipes to take care of that. All four corners, the pipes run inside the roof pillars. The most likely cause of the drip is a failing silicone seal underneath the sunroof rail. Open the roof and look down from above, you should see what I mean. Loosen the nuts a bit, squeeze some silicone in underneath the rail..and all should be well. Try searching the site for "moonroof" and "leak" if you need more info :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscat Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 depending on the style, make sure any fasters that go through the glass ore tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Mostly what Setright said but you cant get to the whole length of rails without taking the the assembly out of the car (I know you didn't want to hear that), its kind a big job but is the only way to really do it right.

Hondasucks Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 You could also have a plugged drain hose, if you lower the headliner you can get to the hose itself, or retract the sunroof and look for a small hole in each corner. An air compressor with a blow nozzle with a rubber tip should blow any crud that's accumulated in the lines, if that is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
