So it rained all day and when I went to go out, i noticed that the headliner around the center dome light was soaked. Water drops were falling onto my gear shift. The sunroof is closed properly and level. Any ideas where this water is coming from? Its only after long rain showers.

HELP!!!!

Sometimes the drainer from the sunroof get's backed up if too much water doesn't flow through. Ask your dealer to look at that.

Sounds like a trip tot he dealer...
This is starting to happen to more vehicles now.

On my wagon it ended up costing $2500 in parts and 25 days in the shop to repair the damage from a bad seal. Thank god it was all under warranty... they had not totaled up the labor associated with fixing all the electronics in the rear of the car and the sunroof, but 25 days minus 3 Sundays... so 22 days of labor? OUCH!
