sunroof

Post by jdq »

My sunroof is leaking now when I went thru car wash.Water is coming thru headliner and ceiling console for garage door opener, how is the sunroof supposed to be seated as my adjustment screws were loose and I just tightened them with sunroof all way down.Should the sunroof be up a bit.

After adjusting, be sure that your drains are not plugged.
