Hello Just notice a dripping leak. See long yellow arrow om first pic? I saw on the internet that it could be clogged Sun Roof drain holes on the left and right sides. Will cleaning the SunRoof drain holes with a Harbor Freight cleaning brush and blowing them out with 90 PSI of compressed air fix this issue? Anyone else seen this problem?? It is a strange place for water leakage but one other person on the internet had that problem and the water got in thru the top of the windshield. I noticed a grove where the windshield is sealed at the bottom of the groove. Therefore if this does not fix it, I will put some high temperature silicone I use for pellet stoves or Permatex Glass Weld from Autozone into that groove for a better window seal.

I saw 2 more people on the internet that had very small break in the top of the windshield seal and one person found it with soapy water in the groove and blowing air from inside with a shop vac or compressor and watching for air bubbles. Good process! The best approach may be to clean the grove between the windshield and car with alcohol and apply a small amount of silicone at the bottom on the grove to seal any breaks. The new technology of designing groves with drainage must work better since the old days without the groves had more windshield and sunroof leaks?

If I suspect the sunroof drains are clogged I’ll pour some water in the frame by the drains and watch to see if it stays pooled up or drains out on the floor. The seal around the windshield is sandwiched in between the glass and body. Rarely develops a leak unless you get rust or rot where the urethane adhesive is bonded to the body.
