I have the exact same problem on one side of my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My driveway falls away and to the side, which may be why it's only one side? I've cleaned out the drain below the windscreen wipers but this did not solve the problem, so I'm really pleased and grateful to find this video. I also have corrosion 'blooms' both sides under the rubber gasket, which was not removed in this video. They are situated at top front of each door under the more substantial bodywork rubber gasket, which I guess hold dirt and water against this location. Hopefully, the corrosion has not perforated the bodywork, and the sunroof drains are the only issue! An easy check thanks to this video, well easier than repairing bodywork!! I'd never would have worked this out without this video. Thanks so much!! 🙏🏻

If you take the kickpanels off you will see where the draintube exits the vehicle out of a grommet. Remove the grommet and you will see it has flaps on the ends cut them off or use a drill bit to bore the grommet out. What happens is the water and debris get into the moonroof draintubes and the the flaps trap the debris and prevent water from draining properly causing them to back up and spill over the moonroof assembly and run down the A pillars onto the floors

FAB Automotive, your video on this solved my exact issue with my 2005 JGC. I tested the driver’s side tube with a little bit of water and it did not drain so I used a few light doses of compressed air and “voila!”, it drained perfectly right where you indicated. I as well checked the passenger side tube and it was OK. And for that, I subscribed!

Thanks for the video! My level blow gun tip could not reach the drain hole in there, so I have used plastic soda drink straw to stick it inside the drain pipe and sticking the gun tip into the straw, it had a resistance of the air flow for a few seconds and then all the water just poured out of the bottom exit. This was on the drivers side where the leaks were happening, there were no leaks on the passenger side and no resistance for the air to flow. After blowing both sides out I tested the drainage with the water bottle and all the water just drained out as it should. Again, thank you for this informative video.

In the end, figured it must be the grommets at the floor panels (that the blue tubes run into). I learned that it’s like the nipple on a baby bottle, and gets really skinny at the very end so can only drip water out slowly in the cleanest of conditions. Pulled out the panels only to find that a previous owner had already snipped the nipple off the grommets!!! I’m at a total loss except to say that these sunroofs just CANNOT handle intense water (& never park on an angle in a hard rain). It just flows over that wall. Will be making good use of the Adam’s! Any recommendations for cleaning rust in the sunroof track? Thanks for all the smarts.

I just got a 08 Commander and it leaks on both sides like this every time it gets wet! I already blew it out and it still happens! I’m in the Deep South, no freezing issues here. It sloshes around in the upper door areas while driving, and comes out from the front edge of the sunroof (which drips onto the steering wheel and then the seat) but mostly the side handles like yours. If I can’t figure it out soon I’m going to have to seal my sunroof closed! Thank you so much for showing us what’s inside all up in there! I didn’t want to go ripping up my new car, but I was afraid it might have been molding and rotting. Now that I know it’s all styrofoam, I can focus on the floor and seats. (I’m going to try the Adam’s) If anyone has any idea what ELSE might still be going on, please post!

I understand the whole idea of water leaking into your Jeep due to leaking, frozen, or even disconnected drain hoses however in order for you to have issues with the drains then that means your sunroof itself would have to be leaking. Basically what I’m saying is that your sunroof drains are a secondary problem & you should focus on the root cause of your problem which would be the sunroof not sealing properly or closing properly. That’s how your sunroof drains were able to get clogged up to begin with…
@FABAutomotiveDetailing
@FABAutomotiveDetailing 5 ай бұрын
All sunroofs leak into the tray by design and that’s why they have drains. They are designed that way because they are mounted horizontal which makes it hard to seal so they add drains and a drip tray. If you have a car with a sunroof poor water on the sunroof when closed and after about 10 seconds or less you will have water dripping from behind your front wheels and that’s how they are supposed to to work.

I can't figure it out. Could it possibly be - someone stole my antenna mast, I had replaced it with a universal mast which didn't make the complete connection and seal. Bought a OEM Mopar mast today.

Its not my windshield no sign of water in the front of the car, just the rear cargo area where the inside roof trim starts (plastic piece).

Ram Garza If you don’t have a sunroof then it would either be the windshield or your door seal. Only thing you can do is take a garden hose with no nozzle on it and run it down the roof towards the windshield. Have someone I side watching to see if it comes inside.

My 01 grand Cherokee has no sunroof & it just started leaking from the driver side top corner of the windshield. Tomorrow I will find out if it is the windshield seal or the roof rack bolts.

I have a 2006 Grand Cherokee with sunroof. All sunroof drains are clear and drain properly. Leak occurs only during rainstorm. The areas of wetness were passenger side carpet, kick panel, and right underside of glove box. Water was travelling down wire harness from the a-pillar and dumping it on these areas( it was also running over the floor light bulb--not good !). I water tested the passenger side area, where leak was . I isolated the lowest point and poured water starting in cowl area- no leak. I then went upwards and poured water along side passenger side window- no leak. I then took windshield mastic strips and sheet plastic from a blister packaging of something I bought, and made an enclosure like a bucket around the passenger side top corner of the windshield. When I filled this " bucket" up with water, I immediately saw water dripping onto the kick panel and floor carpeting. The problem : the roof is spot welded to the a-pillar at the upper passenger side corner near the windshield. On the outside, this seam is covered by sealant from the manufacturer and then the car is painted. Just below the goop of painted sealant was a very small gap. This gap was the way water was coming in and travelling through the inside of the a-pillar. The water came in contact with a small wire harness which allowed the water to dump onto kick panel and carpet. The solution was to apply " windshield and glass sealant " to the gap and other areas that looked suspect. This stuff is great. It is a runny form of silicone sealant that dries pretty hard. No more leaks!! Saved myself from having window removed or body shop investigation ($$$). Cost for the sealant was $ 6 and change.

Had the same problem on my 2005 back in 2007. Water dripping from the pillars, on my feet and from rooftop sunglasses holder. My dad filled the drain holes with silicone chalk and it never happened again. Now, does anyone have electrical dash going on and off? The air conditioning and heat also shut off as the electrical panel dies and comes back on. If I jiggle or push on the key it comes back on. Had the ignition switch recall done and it still persists. Of course, when I took it back to the dealership it didn’t do it...or they just lied to me cause they don’t know how to fix it 😂

Planet of the Abes It only leaks when there is ice built up in the drain tubes. Basically when snow sits on top of it and the ambient temps are below freezing the water must freeze in the tubes and block the drains.
