Why when i go threw the carwash my front pilers inside the car get wet and the back left rear (and yes the windows are up) took it to dealer they unclogged the sunroof drains then resealed the shark fin still water coming in someplace . This will be 3rd trip in for water leak. i bought the car used 06530xi off a lease with 30k still has 4/50k warranty what to do gettin very aggravating.

take a garden hose and soak certain areas until it leaks inside. although it might be too cold for that now.

Hey at least you did not end up like me...

$3000 in parts (25 days worth of labor) and all the electronics in the rear of the wagon had to be rewired and moved 12hours after I bought the car. Have them check the Sunroof seal that is what failed on mine , the clogged drains just make the problem worse.

Thank god for the warranty and CPO to boot... 25 days of Labor at a Dealer!
