water ingress ? through sunroof drains

Postby snuffy » Fri Nov 04, 2011 11:06 am

The driver side footwell pocket is wet and I've notice water dripping from plastic holder for the sun visor on the drivers side. On checking the roof lining above the driver door I also found it was wet. I've read about the issue with sunroof drains blocking so I open the sunroof and poured a little water at the side and it ran straight out through the sun visor holder and the trim at the side of the windscreen. Unfortunately I cn't locate the opening to the drain. Can anyone help?

Another thought is even if the drain is blocked, surely water shouldnt run so easily into the car. Could there also be a seal problem?

Thanks for any help.

Sorry, got wet again last night which prompted me to check my post. Thanks I'll get someone to look at seal for me.
