not sure if this belongs in interior or exterior =P i've noticed the sunroof has a slight gap on the upper passenger side corner. i noticed this one time when i washed my car i saw water dripping there. i took it to the dealer but they said it's normal and i shouldn't worry about it. i've looked at another vibe in the lot and it also has a slight gap. anyone noticed this? dealer says not to worry since water will be drained out if it gets in. i had put some black electrical tape to sort of fill in the gap but i've taken it out now lol

I've never noticed.. Ill check tomorrow and see though.. I have noticed when I open my sunroof there is a line of dirt and what not after the roof drops down and slides back.

i've never noticed it until recently. i guess it should be ok as long as the water is drained away somewhere. i have removed the electrical tape that i used to fill in the gap because it looks ghetto and ugly when i have the sunroof opened lol

Yeah, it's normal for a little water to drip through the sunroof sides. There are holes in each corner that attach to drainage tubes, so I wouldn't worry about it unless it looks like a waterfall coming in. The only problem I've had with it was when one of the drainage tubes became kinked and the water wouldn't drain, but that was an easy fix.

here's a pic of where i put the tape and where the leak is.i guess it's nothing to worry about since it's drained out somewhere. do all cars with stock sunroof comes with their own drainage system? i've never thought of a leaky sunroof until this car lol

Here's a pic of one of the drainage holes for the sunroof leaks (with some water to boot : And here's an exit for one of the drainage tubes on the back of the car:
