Sunroof drain still leaking from the top someone please help.


I honestly don’t know why this is happening but I rerouted my sunroof and it drains fine when I test it with the sunroof open(pouring water directly into the drain) but when I spray the top of the sunroof with a hose when it’s closed water drips down from the top of the sunroof usually I’ll see water drip at the very top of the a pillar at the headliner I don’t think it’s coming from any door seals because I was only spraying the roof I also know it’s not any connections in the headliner I took down the entire headliner just to hose clamp the top sunroof drain connections. Can someone please help me I don’t understand it would still be leaking i live in Florida and this is a constant battle with this car…. It also rained today and I found a little puddle of water at the top of the a pillar it usually happens on the passenger side.

 

Same happened to me, turns out the drains up within the sunroof channel (one at each corner) were also clogged.

Once they’re clogged, the allow water to pool up. And the water pools up too much, it overflows the channel and leaks into the headliner and leaks down the air pillar by the side airbags

When I tested the drainage, here’s what I saw:



And the chain of events that leads to leaking, even with the sunroof drain re-route:


How to diagnose: drip some water into each corner of your sunroof channel, to see if any allow water to pool up

How to fix: for any corner that had water pooling up, I just jabbed a straightened paperclip into the inlet to clear the clog

No more leaks ever since!
