Water leak 2003 Vibe

Post by onteo »

I have a water leak that drips heavily out of the driver side A piller where the fabric meets the plastic. I also have a rust spot along the top of the windsheild about 4 inches in from driver side corner. Could this be the sunroof tube being plugged that I read about or some other factor? ThankS

Have someone pour a bucket or two of water over various areas while you sit inside and watch.

There are four drain tubes. Two in the front, one in each front corner, two in the rear.If you open the roof, the front two are real easy to spot and clog easily. Little chunks of leaves or seed pods. The rear ones are a bit trickier but they both drain the rear of the assembly. I had a leak in the exact spot you are describing when my front tubes clogged up with small seed pods.Dave
