guys im really ticked off. lately its been raining like crazy here in sc and im thinking thank God i dont have my ttops firebird anymore. then yesterday i walk in my car and as soon as i hit the gas i felt water pour on me from the sunroof area and the headliner was wet. today on my way to work, i noticed a very wetspot where my pillar connects to the roof. i feel like crying and im already thinking about doing a trade in. Intimidator edition or not this is unacceptable. my friends 97 honda sunroof doesnts have a single leak wit its 210k miles smh

 

is the drain hole plugged?

 

on the passenger side, and i just realized my whole passenger side carpet is drenched. FML

 

I was thinking maybe the drain hole being plugged up too. But when you said the carpet is wet, that blows my theory. Almost sounds like a combination of problems. I know if the cabin filter box isn't closed and sealed properly, your carpet will get soaked.

 

My drain also backed up on one side for the last few years. I read a TSB somewhere that the lower part of the hose may be flattened by the kick plate insulation. So I went into the hole below the emergency brake with a small camera, and indeed found it so. Even air would not flow through.


The hole is too small to reach in for a fix, but the hose end grommet pulls out if you give some slack.

First, undo the door garnish then sunvisor/headliner. Detach hose from sunroof, feed it partially back into the A-pillar. The kink may be stuck together, but a squeeze should open it again. Then pop the grommet back in and reattach hose to the sunroof nipple, etc.

 

Great info to add but the threads pretty old.
