Hi. My wife took the Q for a spin a couple of days ago while I was away and says there was water leaking from the dome light in front of the sunroof, driver's side.
The sunroof was closed, of course, but I did notice the the windshield moulding on the driver's side needs replacing. Could they be related even though they aren't really that close to each other?
Thanks!
Jim
leaking from dome light
the sunroof drains are long black hoses that run to the underside of the car. There are two at the front and i believe two at the back. those drains are to port away water that gets in even while the sunroof is closed.
The Inside Diameter (ID) of these hoses isn't real big and the surface isn't supper slippery. Both of which conspire to make the drain lines suseptible to pluging just like a downspout on your house. They get plugged from debris like tiny bits of leaves, dirt, or even green scum that will grow in there if it stays wet long enough.
Try a bit of low pressure compressed air to blow them out (anyone feel free to jump in here if this method isn't the best)

Happened once to me...
Is this a recurring problem?
The same thing happened to me about a year ago after I took the car through a car wash. It did it immediately following the wash as I was driving but then went away. Haven't had that happen to me since, even when I wash the car.
