Thread: Sunroof still leaks...FOUND PROBLEM FINALLY

I see from an earlier post that you must pull the headliner to get to the drain tubes. I also see that someone does this annually. You wanna come do mine...

Anyway, I would like to do this just as a preventative maintenance measure (currently I don't have a leak or any issues).

I also want to lube the cover and the tracks and everything. Does this also require pulling the headliner? And what is the best lube and procedure for doing this?

Glad you finally figured out your problem. That sounded like a bugger.

Did you (or anyone) ever get any pictures of the assembly with the headliner off? If I could see pictures of what is hiding behind the headliner that would help me decide if I really want to pull it or if I can get away with just lubing what I can get at.

I was told by the makers of our sunroofs that a SMALL amount of graphite is best for the lubrication on the moving parts.

To get to your front tubes, just put the roof all the way to the back (open position, instead of vent position). It appears you will have to remove the glass to see the rears, though. Pour some water in the "funnel" that heads toward the hole at the corner and wait to see if water shows up under the car. If they're clean like mine, you'll see and hear water there in a few seconds. Front tubes drain near the rear of your front wheels.
