WATER DRAINAGE AND WIND NOISE DIAGNOSIS
The sliding glass panel is designed to seal water
entry with a snug fit between the roof and the seal.
The fit can be checked by inserting a piece of paper
between the roof and the seal. The piece of paper
should have some resistance when pulled out when
the glass panel is in the closed position. The sunroof
housing will drain off a minimum amount of water.
Excessive wind noise could result if the gap clear-
ances are exceeded. The sunroof glass panel may
need to be adjusted. Refer to Sunroof Glass Panel
Adjustment for proper procedures.
Adequate drainage is provided by a drain trough in
the sunroof housing which encircles the sliding glass
panel and leads to drain hoses. If a wet headliner or
other water leak complaints are encountered, before
performing any adjustments, first ensure that the
drainage system is not plugged or disconnected. Use
a pint container to pour water into the sunroof hous-
ing drain trough. If water flow is restricted, use com-
pressed air to blow out any material plugging the
drain system. Retest system again.
To further check for a disconnected drain hose:
(1) Remove A-pillar trim, sun visors, and map
lamps/mini console.
(2) Remove sunroof opening trim lace. Refer to
Sunroof Opening Trim Lace.
NOTE: Care must be taken not to fold or kink the
headliner upon removal.
(3) Lower headliner as necessary to gain access to
sunroof housing drain tubes. Refer to Headlining
Removal and Installation for proper procedures.
(4) Repair as necessary.
