Water in side the car.

[Greg in VA]

Ok, I've got a 04 silver redline and it just started leaking inside on the passenger side down the pillar and into the floor, I figure sunroof or plugged drain tubes......if it's drain tubes how do I clean them out? Oh, and when the stuff is all wet the air bag light comes on, the locks lock all the time, the alarm does crazy things............and on and on.....

I'm pretty sure someone posted a how-to fix the sunroof leaks. Try a search.

yea i posted that, but it wasn on a differen web host so the link to the pics are dead

Basically take out the a-pillar trim, lower the ceiling piece a bit. pop off one of the tubes, blow some air through there somehow. compressed air or whatever. pour some water into the tube to make sure its draining right, then zip-tie them back on, or youll be doing this again:\

once you get to where you can see the tubes, usually you can see which one is plugged or popped off very easily. since your up there, dont just fix the 1 with the problem, zip-tie em ALL on.

jeeze.. your car sounds possesed and very unhappy.. hope its just the drain tubes and no serious seal leak that will run you some money..

Well it just rained a very nice shower and I went out and opened the sun roof and guess what I found? The tube on the passenger side is indeed stopped up water was standing in the corner of the sun roof valley. So now I know what the problem is, just have to figure out how to unplug that sucker?

Think I fixed it with the application of a little air in the tube, I kept the pressure low about 20 pounds, and after about 4 burst I looked down and the water was draining out at the front rocker just like it's suppost too....

Thanks guys..........

listen greg the compressed air through the hose is a good fix for now but over time this will happen again pull the wheel skirts and you will see the plug drains just give them a snip no more water leaks you dont want your car smelling
