When it rains hard My roof leaks from the light in the middle. I think it has to do with my sun roof but i don't know for sure. Luckly i live in California so there is not much rain. Anyone no what could be wrong, or has anyone ever had this problem. I think it has to do with the seal on the sun roof but it only leaks from the light, when i took off the light fixture iit seemed like it was coming from the screw that goes arond when i open the sunroof. Any suggestions?

Its one of: drain plugs being clogged, the weather stripping around the sunroof detiorating or the roof has stopped closing properly.

I had the same problem and it was the drain holes.. I dumped lots of water down them to clean, and also blew on them with a straw.. The way they work, once you get past the hole its a huge hose (relatively) but the hole is about 2in long, so stuff can get wedged in there.....

Do some straw blowin and then report back

Seriously, Jake, while you're waiting for an answer, always give the search button a try.

I found this for you, just by searching on "roof leak"
