yeah so i am not a noob to car forums... mostly used to be on mustang forums before, but got this beautiful Altima Coupe now. Now, sure it might not have blasted into the future off the line like a raped bat, but it sure is a blast to drive! Once the exterior is detailed, will post some pics, its fully stock...2008, Adriatic Blue, or paint code B54. Only wierd thing that happened is today it was raining hard, but it seemed to be slight wet/damp on the driver side apillar, and upward like the top of the door frame/rubber seal. It was definetly from inside the car?? anybody have similar experiences?? Thinking its something to do with the sunroof drain pipe? since its there along the same way its wet on the apillar... ugh wtf! i bought this thing brand new, stupidness. So yes, anyone?

Welcome to NICO! The drain tubes for the sunroof go down all of the pillars if I'm not mistaken. Taking the roof apart to get to them is a bit of a pain, but not too bad. Since it's new, I'd take it back and have them fix the leak. It is quite possibly just a bad seal on one of the tubes from the sunroof pan (that would definitely be my first guess).

You can see the tube in this pic (white plastic tube right along the top):

Welcome to the forums Your issue is weird but I haven't experience that but I have a similar experience. Everytime it rains hard here, I would get a puddle of water on my passenger side mat. It's a good thing I have those all weather mat so it catches the water, if I didn't, I'd have a wet carpet everytime. I need to get off my lazy arse and call the dealer about it. Goodluck and keep us posted on what you find out!

Since I'm not privileged enough to have been a member of the 'stang forums, what is the difference in attitude? And good luck with getting the leak fixed!
