leak!

[stevebob]

i've just had my first water leak in my bravo! chucked it down with rain the other night and it leaked into the passenger side headlining and then looks like it's dripped or run into the passenger footwell. i've had a read of the repair guide, so i'm going to check my aerial gasket, but anyone else got any tips!? i was wondering about the drain holes, do they follow down the front door/window panel and come out near the bonnet hinges. i've got a lot of gunk in there, so need to clean that out! Just one other question as well, if i leave my sunroof where it stops by the switch it isn't level with the roof, i ended up giving the switch a few gentle flicks to get it level! is this normal as well! cheers! any help much appreciated, i thought i'd got away from damp cars when i sold my 82 mini!

Maybe your sunroof seal is worn! Try getting a new seal, blast some compressed air down the four drainage holes and clear the gunk next to the bonnet hinges!

If you pour water into the drainage holes you should see the water comming out underneath the car somewhere!

ill giv the air blowing a go first! 4 drainage holes? i have only found 2 in the corners of teh sunroof! where are the other 2?

i was trying to look the other day and figure out if i can change the seal without taking the sunroof out!

2 holes in the front corners and two in the back!

It's quite easy to remove the glass, i think it's held in place by 4 star bolts or whatever they're called. Unscrew them from the inside of the car, and the glass should drop out, but be carefull not to drop and smash it!!!
