    Hi All,
    My sunroof has a persistant leak and don't know where it's coming from. Water is leaking down though the courtesy light/sunroof control panel in the roof, and i'm worried that if i don't find it soon , I'll have a short on my hands. The seal around the roof panel is in good shape, so i'm stumped as to why it would leak. And yes, the roof panel draws down tight when closing. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ( 2000 Grand prix GT )

    Thanks in advance,

    John Paul

    I had water coming in in the same place you mentioned. I have an 04 with the antenna between the windshield and sunroof. It's seal went bad on the antenna somehow, I just took it apart and put some silicon under it and tightened it down. Hasn't leaked ever since.

    Thank you all for your quick replies and suggestions, much appreciated. As mentioned above, i was always wondering what those black tubes were sticking out of the forward door jambs, had no idea those were drain hoses. Going to blow those out this evening. Thanks again guys for all your help, hope this solves my problem.
    Cheers for now,
    John Paul

    Hi all,
    Just a quick follow-up. 00grandprixgtp- you hit the nail right on the head. i blew out those drain lines and two days later it poured cats and dogs and not a drop of water in the roof of the car. thanks again for your help.
    cheers,
    john paul
