How to Solve the Problem of Water Leakage from the Lavida Sunroof Flowing into the Cabin Along the B-Pillar?
2 Answers
First, you need to turn on the vehicle's ignition and then press the sunroof switch button to open the sunroof. Next, observe the sunroof of the car. You will find drainage outlets on both sides of the sunroof track in the Lavida. Pour water into these drainage outlets to check if the drainage pipes are clear. You need to do this for both sides. If they are blocked, clean them thoroughly.
I also drive a Lavida. Last year, the sunroof leaked, and water flowed into the cabin, which really stressed me out. Later, I found the main issue was clogged drainage holes, causing rainwater to accumulate and flow into the car along the B-pillar. I tried fixing it myself: first, I used thin wire or compressed air to clear the small drainage tubes at the front of the sunroof, where leaves or mud easily clog. After clearing, I flushed water to check if it flowed smoothly. If it still leaked, I checked if the sealing strip had cracks or was aging, causing leaks. Temporary fixes like applying tape can help, but it’s best to replace it. A poorly installed sunroof might also leak—don’t try to fix it yourself if unsure; take it to a repair shop for a full inspection if needed. Regular cleaning of the drainage system is key—check it monthly to avoid water buildup. Don’t forget, there are many electronic components in the car, and leaks could cause short circuits, making things worse. Get it fixed as soon as possible.
