Default leaking sunroof

well i havent driven anywhere for the past couple of days because of the holidays. well this morning i went out to my car and the seats, carpet, everything is just soaking wet. i looked and its coming from the front of the headliner by the windsheild. looked up in that valley where water collects under the sunroof, and saw a little drain hole. anyone know where this should drain to? if there is a hose on it, i have a feeling that hose either came off or is clogged. im gonna pull my headliner down see whats going on. things like this just make me want to build a frame and close the sunroof hole all together. ive never liked sunroofs or convertibles...correct me if im wrong but, i have a feeling the sunroof drains down the pillar, and out by the hinge for my door. because its very rotten back there.

Have your sunroof patched with a piece of sheetmetal..... only way. Sunroofs suck man. You can replace the weather stripping every week and they will still leak. Been there, done that.

i agreee that the sunroofs suck...have an 87 lx sitting in my backyard...the roof is completely rooted around the sunroof. Just about as bad as my old 85 gt with t-tops...drip...drip..drip

if you want to get rid of the sunroof the best thing would be to
buy a stock roof panel and use it as a patch and cut out the hole and
weld it in if you don't want to put a complete roof skin on
or buy a car port to keep it under .......................
