    My VW does and I had to put a towel in the seat this morning :anonymous:

    I need to find out where it's leaking and fix it. Or caulk the entire top :jpow:

    ok, try this, there should be a drain in each front corner of the sunroof, open it completely (if it will close) slowly pour water into the drain holes, if it disperses quickly, then there shouldnt be any blockage, if it doesnt drain try using the "blow" nozzle on yer air compressor, to force out any leaf debris, if it is still blocked, try an old coat hanger straightened out, but be very gentle..

    Roger that!

    I'll have to open it with a 4mm allen wrench, the plastic gear is stripped (known VW problem) and I haven't replaced it yet. It was stuck open when I bought it, luckily it was in a garage.

    That’s what I resealed first! But it’s got to be coming from high up with those two streaks down the trim. I’m thinking it may be where the drip rail meets the back glass seal.

    Don't think I've ever used a ratchet strap while machining anything. Had to hold it at an angle and the two rods on the bottom wanted to kick out. It ain't stupid if it works :evil:

    Don't try this at home*

    They’ve either hatched close by or the wind blew them in. I hope they stick around!
