leaking sunroof 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be flacito on  Thu Jul 11 10:00 CST 2019 [RELATED]

Hi Guys! My latest issue is that from one day to the next I have developed a sunroof leaf which wets both front rear portion of them after rainfall. Can anyone let me know where to look/repair?






sorry I forgot to use the term {seats}

    My 1993 940 leaked. Drains were clear but it let in too much water for the drains during heavy rain. The felt like gasket was worn out and there are none available. Right now, black electrical tape is sealing the sunroof. One layer once a year

    Drain tubes clogged. Might be time "1990" to slide the whole sunroof cassette track out and clean and lube it while vacuuming out the roof cavity. Tape cardboard to your roof for protection if your up for removal of the sunroof. So nice after it's clean and lubed.

    I use a section of high temperature wire to snake out the drains - this wire with glossy insulation is stiffer than regular wire, but still quite flexible.

    If you have a sedan, check the drains at the front corners of the trunk.

    Check your drains (all 6) by pouring about 6 ounces of water in each - you should see water on the ground almost immediately.

    Next time you go to the junk yard, pick up a manual set-up for your sunroof - get the cover, handle and drive gears - $15 vs $300!
