After 4 days of my truck in the shop, it was not the drain tubes. They found water was coming in through the seal, making it's way to a spring tensioner, getting on the sunroof track and making it's way in to the roof.

I'm not entirely sure what they did to fix it, aside from a new seal. We'll find out in the next rain I guess.

I wasn't the only truck in the shop with this problem .. 6 others with the same issue. Guy told me it was a sunroof manufacturer defect - whatever that's supposed to mean.

Best of luck,

Matt

 

i have the sunroof, it was a must have for me, no problems with it yet though...hopefully stays that way

 

Ditto. I just wish it opened the whole way like my last truck. The service manual says it should but nothing happens when you press the button a second time.

 

Hi
I am new to forum
can anyone tell me where I find the sunroof drainage holes on a Chrysler neon as I cannot see them?

 

I have an 2006 Laramie that I special ordered from the factory. The friggin sunroof started leaking from the "Oh Crap" handles on both sides. I had to bring it to the dealer two times before they even found the leak. The fix lasted a while and now I found out that the extended warranty doesn't cover it. Don't get me wrong, I love my truck but it was a big mistake ordering it with the sunroof. You would think that they would be able to build a truck that doesn't leak, especially after dropping 35K on it! I mean wft? If I could turn back time I would have done my best to keep a close eye on it and try to qualify for the lemon law. So if your truck is very new, you might consider this. Then buy a truck without the sunroof. I'm going to try some clear caulk or silicone and just lock it shut. Any advice on what will work the best? I don't want to play games with unclogging the hoses and such. Thanks in advance and the oppurtunity to vent, lol!

 

My Durango had water draining into the fusebox during unusually heavy rain. Found the sunroof drain hole clogged on the driver's side. Cleared drain hole of debris. Blocked drain hole and poured water in drain trough to see where water would go if the hole was clogged. As soon as the water got to a certain level, it spilled into the sunroof track seam, it immediately started leaking into A-pillar and into fuse box area. I've attached some pics of the drain hole and track seam area as well as the normal location that water exits when the drain is unclogged and also one of the fuse box. This forum helped me diagnose the problem, so I thought it might save some others some time, money and headaches if I posted some pictures.

 

I bought a dodge 2009 Crew Cab Big Horn Edition february of 2009, it has a sunroof. Stickered at almost $48,000.!! It leaked a couple months after owning it. i ended up taking it in 7 times for the same problem. Water in front of my shifter compartment leaking from the overhead counsil and Water collecting in my floor mats dripping from the OH SH#T handle. First they said they found a kinked hose, then they adjusted the sunroof 3 different times. Last they said they found some service bulletin that showed new adjustments for the glass, more precise. I was so fed up I contacted Chrysler Corporate, a local news paper, i even had a specialist come to the dealer ship to run water over it with a hose and he couldn't find anything. I tried for the Lemon Law and it failed!! After the last adjustment it didn't leak for about 4-6months and then I got in the truck one day and there's water streaming out of my Oh Sh#t handle again 5/10/2010. I have 5,700 miles on my truck and the only thing I've seen so far that I never heard the dealer ship mention was maybe the rear break light is leaking but I highly doubt it. I basically am just fogetting about it, I don't think they know what the F#$%'s wrong, I wanted a new truck but they refused to go that easily. If they would let me do it again I would have never got the dang sunroof!!

 

Probably why the trucks are on hold at the plant, or some of them..

 

My sunroof appears to have the issue of needing adjusted. The sunroof goes through the motions of closing correctly, but it is an 1/8" below the roof line. Is there a way to adjust the motor or alignment when closed?

 

Trial and error. Dropped headliner. Then found there was adjustment in the 4 screws holding the sunroof on (didnt need to drop headliner for this adjusment. Just remove the plastic decorative accordian fan pieces by slipping them off.) Adjusted the rear screws but still came up short by a 1/16".

Almost screwed myself by starting to take the motor apart.

Dropped entire motor assembly to allow the sunroof brackets freedom to move. Slid them until the sunroof sealed.

Remember, as per other threads, make sure the sunroof is already in the closed position!

Good thing about dropping headliner, I was able to remove all of the leaves stuck between the roof and headliner. Also was able to access the rear drain tubes and blew them out.

Hope this keeps others from doing hit and miss on adjustment and saving some $ at repair shops.
