WATER DRAINAGE AND WIND NOISE DIAGNOSIS
The sliding glass panel is designed to seal water entry with a snug fit betweentheroofandtheseal.Thefitcanbe
checked by inserting a business card or equivalent, 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 clearances are exceeded. The sunroof
glass panel may need to be adjusted. (Refer to 23 - BODY/SUNROOF/GLASS PANEL - ADJUSTMENTS)
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 housing drain trough. If water flow is restricted, use compressed air to blow out any material
plugging the drain system. Retest system again.
To further check for a disconnected drain hose:
NOTE: Care must be taken not to fold or kink the headliner upon removal.
1. Lower headliner as necessary to gain access to sunroof housing drain tubes. (Refer to 23 - BODY/INTERIOR/
HEADLINER - REMOVAL)
2. Repair as necessary.
