Be careful not to blow the drain hoses off the sunroof pan nipples, a very common issue when using high volume compressed air.

Reeeeeeeee 😂 move the A pillar trim and check on the state of those drain hoses before you parts-cannon a sunroof or seals. A quick Google suggests Jeep drain hoses are two piece daftness, similar to those my Hot-tub-Tiguan. Daft adapter at the roof drain hole just went brittle and stopped sealing to the main hose. Dumped that amount of water down behind my dash and behind the carpet underlay. Filled from the floor upwards with no real evidence of a leak. Nightmare to diagnose, but very much worth a check before you go down anymore complex/costly route.
@kendiggy
@kendiggy 20 күн бұрын
I was thinking the same. Also, it's still possibly coming from the window, and since so much was going through, it soaked up into the headliner by wicking up. But definitely pull the trim there and see the actual leak.
@SeanBZA
@SeanBZA 20 күн бұрын
Very common that, the hose shrinks with time, and pulls loose. Solution is to buy a length of hose and make new ends for it, and use a little heat to soften the new hose first, so it goes on easy. No need for sealer at all if the hose is hot and pliable to go over nicely.

Just as an fyi - if you're using compressed air at home - there is a more than 0% chance to force one of the drain fittings to disconnect due to the clog holding more pressure than one of the fittings. I'm not saying Ray doesn't know what he's doing but most of us DIYers could cause more harm with compressed air than help. There are little brushes at end of long weed eater lines that you can use to DIY that safely.

Compressed air on a sunroof drain can be dangerous, you can blow the plastic drain tube right off the drain trough fitting itself. Find the lower exit point (may need to remove the inner fender liner, then blow back the other way and see if it comes out the top drain, if not, the tube is off. I have also found the tube split at the trough fitting.

I mentioned it in the other video, when you blow compressed air in these it knocks off the drain hose off and then drains all over inside. Looks like that is exactly what happened. Also, at the bottom they have a nipple that, because of its shape, makes it clog up faster. I cut the bottom off of mine in my Commander, which is the same exact setup.

The best way I have found was to get a spool of heavy duty weed wacker line. Cut 2 long pcs that will go from top to exit. The first is to work through the clog. The second is to brush it out. Take a razer and make many splits and bristles on the end, trickle water through for a while to soften and then put the other end on your cordless drill and run it through top to bottom many times. Probably will never clog again before trading in or retiring the vehicle if done correctly.

I had a Cadillac CTS that had problems with the sunroof frames. Best way to fix them was to use a monofilament line either string trimmer or something like that and go to the drain inside the fenderwell and push up till it exists at the top. the problem with going from the top is if you hit the clog and you push too hard it’ll pull the tube right off the drain connection and then it drains right into the into the inside of the car. Using😂 compressed air can have the same effect. After I brought a new car, I put the Cadillac outside and I didn’t check it enough and the sunroof drains created a birdbath in the front two seats, and then the condensation ruined all the electronics and destroyed the car. Keep your sunroof clear. The wiser don’t buy cars with sunroof.

When I worked for the dealership, a tech who worked on sunroof stuff said one day, "You put a hole your roof it is going to leak!" I think he may have been having a hard day, but the funny/logic behind it is pretty much right on. lol I remember you doing a sunroof at your previous job, and was amazed at what it took to do...big job. I forget the vehicle, but seem to remember it was a junkyard/used part replacement. Remember that one? Or have you blocked it from memory? 😅

Check the tubes first ... I have a 2003 Jeep GC Overland. Had to replace both sun roof drain tubes last summer. Mine were a blue flex like tube that became brittle and fall apart when grabbing at them. They run down inside that A pillar from the sun roof and down through that kick panel area then emerge and drop into the floor pan. PITA to remove all of the passenger side one so I just cut off what I could get to and rerouted new vinyl tubing.

I have an 03 Grand Cherokee and it leaks. What i found that stops it is loosen the 4 torx screws, 2 on either side, push up on the sunroof and retighten them. Stops the leak for a while until it drops down again. I just duct taped mine and took out the fuse, got tired of fixing something i didn't use. It leaks in at the rear of the sunroof as thats what drops down when the screws loosen. You can see it dropped down at the rear in the video and it just comes in faster than the drain holes can manage.

Get Dave to help you with this diagnosis and fix. The problem does seem to be the drains in the sunroof. Definitely blocked, and maybe also disconnected. Use weed wacker plastic line to clear blockage, then run a little water down the drains, and look for it to come out the bottom end of both drains. If not the drains tubes may be disconnected from the nipples.

Ray they make a sunroof drain brush. It's a long flexible metal slinky thing with a brush on the end of it. I can confirm it works. My mother in laws Toyota had a sunroof leak due to a clogged drain. The brush took care of it. You can tell if the drain is working as you will have a puddle underneath the car as that's where the sunroof drains exit.

When closing the glass should stop when the glass is sealed, then a second push of the button, the rear of the glass comes up. My glass goes right past that first top opening the rear of the glass.

I recommed smoke testing drains and windshields. Block one side if the drain and smoke from the other. See if there is a leak, if not unblock and check flow. To check the windshield. Put a fan in the interior venting out a window, all other doors/windows closed( pulling a vacuum in the car). Then smoke the suspected not sealed component. If you see smoke inside, you have a leak.

*I saw a tip online...get some nylon sting that is normally used for a string trimmer and slowly but surely force it down the drain to help clear it out.*

the seal around the glass is not to prevent water , but to make a seal between the glass and the rubber , it is a sticky substance but drys and slightly tacky ready for the rubber and the screen for the rubber to stick onto the windscreen , i use to add the black goo as we called it onto land rovers before the american company that owned it sold it to the india company since then the range rover is trash

I had the hose come off on my MKV GTI. Had to pull the head liner to repair it. It was a friction fit only from the factory, so I made sure to put a clamp on both sides, and checked the rear fittings too.

Check the corner of the windshield when you were watering the sunroof. The water was also hitting that gap the windshield on the drivers side.

Also check behind the door seals at the top at the top of the windshield. There's a hole through the body and when the seals get old the don't seal it up. A quick dab of silicone.

We've had sunroofs on about 8 of our GM Cars over the years. Never had an issue....& this is in Eastern ND. Temps from -30F (rarely thank God!!) to 100+ sometimes. Humidity levels from bone-dry to Miami-like. Keep the roof & door seals pliable!!! Use a good vinyl protectant a couple times/yr. Thankfully, we have a 3-car garage.

Interresting video as usually on your channel ! I'm following you since some months back, and enjoy your spirit with handling cars and your knowledge about repairing cars. Have been a mechanic on Volvo cars years ago, and enjoy every video you put ut here. Now these days I only made repairs and fixing my own cars and motorcycles in my newly built garage. Take care and have a fantastic day Ray ! 🙂

Unfortunately I'm probably too late on this one but, I had the same issue on a 2009 grand Cherokee limited a couple years ago before the family got rid of it. If I remember correctly there is a very small diameter barb fitting behind the A pillar trim on the inside connecting two small diameter rubber hoses I believe this was the part of the tube that was clogged and fixed my leak from the trim screw cover hope when I blew out the barb fitting, most likely for ease of factory installation, but awful for clogging. Hope this helps!

Don’t forget that the bolts for the side rails on the roof rack will leak also as the seals dry out

My 2007 Honda Accord did that at the car wash one time, but it doesn't have a sunroof. I was rolling through the wash and I saw water spraying out of the air bag square on the a pillar. Hasn't done it recently though
