I tried to seal my sunroof w/ a clear epoxy in the center rear where i have a very clean rip, almost like a cut w/ a knife...who knows. It still leaked recently. I then cleared the front drains today, hopefully it'll help some. I'll try to conjure up a way to get to the back drains, maybe just a wire hanger. Are the drains just like regular plumbing...a hollow pipe or tube? DONT LAUGH, but will drain-O, hurt anything if i pour it down there w/ water...just a bit!--OH, has anybody ever had a wet/damp rear seatbelt?I went home to NY and left my car in the airport lot for a week and a 1/2. When i came back my baby was going to put my baby into his car seat and when she pulled on the seatbelt to secure the car seat, she said it's wet, i came over and felt it and damn it, it was wet. I also had a small puddle in the center arm console. Sucks because i didn't know this car leaked like this, I bought it just days b4 when it wasn't raining. since i'm on the topic of leakiness, when i went to see the car b4 i bought it, there was water in the trunk, under the spare, no where else in the trunk was wet or smelled moldy or stagnant. seals around window are good and trunk lid sit well, no adnormalities there. Any ideas how water could have accumulated there w/ out just leaving trunk open while the good lord blessed us?

p.s thanks Hitman or the heads up...

The "cut" in the sunroof seal is just the seam, it's supposed to be there. The drain tubes from the sunroof are clear plastic tubing, you can see what they look like by removing the side trim in the trunk by the antenna. The best way to clear clogs, which are probably causing your leaks, is by blowing air from a compressor down the holes.
