Default moon roof leaking?

Don't have time to search - - - SORRY!!!

I think my moon roof (seal) is leaking. When it rains and I drive, water drips out of my front dome light fixture all the time and if it rains really hard and long it will drip out my middle dome fixture as well.

Anyone know how to repair this or if there is a sealant or something I can do about this without taking it to the dealer. My car is still under warranty for 500 miles, but my dealer is not the best at getting things done in a timely manner or in a correct manner unless it's engine/tranny related.

open the moonroof, pour some water into the drain and see if it is clog.

maybe it is out of adjustment. Look at the moonroof, see if it sits flat with the roof from the outside. If it sinks in too much, loosen the bolt holding the glass half of a turn, hold the glass up and tighten the bolt.
it is 4 torx T20 bolts, you will find it on the left and right side of the glass inside the vehicle. or 6mm hex bolt on some of these cars.


If you adjusted all the way to top but it still sinks inward and leaks water, your moonroof track mine be bad. If it is underwaranty, dealership time.

FYI, there were some issues with the sealant they used on the frames.

Open the moonroof, and you'll find it here. There is 2 small hole at where the 2 arrows points at.

Thanks. Now I got my weekend project set aside.

Oil change, then figuring out where/why the leak is and repair it. LOL!!!
