How to Repair Leakage Caused by Aging Sunroof Seals?
1 Answers
When the sunroof seals age and cause leakage, they need to be replaced. Remove both the front and rear sunroof glass panels, then adhere the new seals along the perimeter edges of the vehicle. Detailed causes and solutions for sunroof leakage are as follows: 1. Abnormal sealing strips: The sealing strips are primarily responsible for preventing water from entering the sunroof. If the seals age and allow excessive rainwater into the sunroof, beyond what the drainage tubes can handle, it will leak into the cabin. Check the sealing strips for damage by pinching them to see if they show signs of aging. Solution: Have them replaced at a repair shop. 2. Gaps in the sunroof frame: When there are gaps in the frame, leakage during rain can be severe, even causing water to drip inside the cabin. Solution: Apply sealant or replace the entire frame or sunroof.
