sunroof problem
well i dont drive in the rain much but yesterday i got stuck in it and man did my sunroof leak my ? is has this happen to any of you and what can i do to fix it i dont even know where to begin body shop? maybe

It might need new weatherstripping, and make sure that the drains are clear, you might have to flush them out somehow.
|
Take a coat-hanger and run it down the four drains - usually that's what causes leaks. If that doesn't work - you may have to change both the seals.
|
the seal on the glass itself looks as though it could be due for replacment does anyone know of a good place to get that or is that a dealer only part i tried mustang parts late model resto but i did not see it listed also thanks for the posts ill definatly try the coathanger
|
Where are the drain holes that need cleaned with a coathanger located? Mine doesnt leak, but I would like to check the drains anyway. My seal is cracking also. Try texas mustang parts.
|
I bought my weatherstripping from stangparts.com. It cost about $115 bucks but that is about normal. It fit perfectly and stopped my leak problems. Make sure to use some kind of adhesive to make the seal even better. I bought the one that actually goes on the glass, it was in bad shape.
|
i found one at texas mustang parts for 115 chump188 how hard was it to swap the seal and what type of adhesive did you use
Mach 1 thanks for the heads up on where to look |
oh and mach 1 once you take the roof out you will see the holes towards the corners if it is a factory roof
|
where do they drain too?
|
that i dont know but tomorrow i am gonna try the coat hanger move and if i figure it out ill post
|
cool
|
The seal is easy to swap. My old one was so worn it came right off. I just used a weatherstrip adhesive from an auto parts store.
The new seal just pushes into place and I ran a bead of glue along the weatherstripping before I pushed it into place. I also repainted the sunroof frame at the same time. I figured kill to birds with one stone. Hope this helps. |
