Water Leaks Above
Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2008 7:30 pm
My friend's 2006 Vibe which was purchased new with roof rack and sunroof has recently developed a problem with water intrusion from the roof. I am not permitted to fiddle with it. At first the drips and dampness appeared on top of front window pillar on the driver's side. This leak occurs both when car is parked or is being driven. So the water intrusion does not seem to be dependent on its being wind driven. (On my old Audi this would result from a clogged drain from the drain channels around the sunroof.) Is it possible that the rubber strips used between the roof panels and around the roof rack have shrunk and pulled away. Has anybody out there had a similar problem?
