Moonroof Preventive Maintenance for Toyota Rav4

[@bcforrest]

Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video. I am looking right now for a Rav4 hybrid, and your video has convinced me that I don't want a moonroof. Too much to worry about.

I want it ☺️ vitamin D from the sun

[@garymeredith2441]

I love the sunroofs I use the SUNROOF for photographing Wildlife particularly birds and trees so that's the people like me using for . But thank you for showing us how to clean out the channels in the SUNROOF .

FYI - this is a definition explanation for you, even though this was a comment from 2 years ago. A sunroof is a closed hatch that does NOT allow light in when closed. A moonroof ALWAYS allows the light through, even if in this case on the RAV4, there is a sliding panel to block light - it isnt part of the opening. So in essence, a sunroof is a completely closed hatch made of metal. A MOONroof is made of GLASS and always allows light through. This video shows a moonroof, NOT a sunroof.

My rav 4, 2005, getting wet drivers. Side rug. I checked moonroof front drains, thanks to this video, next will pour some water channel to back. I like your little teapot there :)

In 50+ years of owning a car I’ve never had a moonroof problem nor have I performed any maintenance. I’ve had many moonroofs.

[@bradleybutler3445]

Your one experience doesn't count for countless others experiences. Admire your luck in these situations as I assume you've been lucky in many other areas for this matter. Not all chefs cook chicken the same, as with cars are not all made the same:)

Some people just want others to know how much better they think they are at irrelevant things.

[@agak61]

@@TruthIsLikePoetrylol I guess you can’t say anything anymore 😂. I bet he is telling the truth too

[@PaulG.369]

Ok then why leave irrelevant comments? Keep scrolling. Just because you never had an issue with a sunroof, doesn't mean I don't need help with mine

[@aznesthirteen8168]

Would be nice to know what to do if it's clogged

[@Jet_Finder]

Great video. I never thought of ever checking this. Thanks

[@Jeep4X]

Preventative maintenance! At least twice a year open (spring/fall), clean and lubricate the seal (silicone or Armour All). Rubber seals dry out when ignored. I've done this on many vehicles over the years and have never had one leak. Clean the water trays at the same time. My RAV Trail (Canada)(US Adventure) has never leaked and the seals are in perfect condition with this bit of TLC.

[@liberty4175]

First of all this video should show how to take out the liner 😬

[@Cmwhunt]

@@liberty4175 he does have another video for that already

Dude my 2022 Prime XSE has the pano moon roof. I'm literally about to silicone the damn thing after this!

[@Tom-ej8bb]

TYVM I hate my moon roof also!

[@marklohmann6267]

While I’ve never had problems with sunroofs-- I realize there are many variables which can hasten problems such as amount of use, climate and if it’s parked outside. I have maintained them too.

[@keithbrown6883]

Great video. My Rav4 is leaking into the passenger side onto the floor. Any ideas on how to "clean out" the drain? Or is this a dealer only type of project? Will definitely be performing the other suggestions ASAP. Thanks.

[@mvann5]

Very useful. Thank you!

[@raylegend808]

I always flush warm water through the front holes at least once a month to make sure my drains are clear

[@HarrySapsun]

much obliged will cancel my order for the 2025 rav 4 xle, I think the less gimmicks the better

[@charlescoker7752]

A good protectant like 303 would keep the rubber from breaking down before it time.

[@markhagerman2494]

How do I fix my moonrise off track

[@EbonSolo]

Are there any magnets in between the moonroof and interior ceiling?

[@mikej238]

Would of been helpful to actually show the drainholes at the bottom.

[@janetharris9291]

What is happening when the water pours inside the car in both those corners. Somehow gets the floor on the drivers side soaken wet. I tried putting something to catch the water and it did not work and the floor still soaken wet

[@jammybdee]

This is different to the UK version, don't you have full pan roof there?

[@Rav4Gen5]

That is an available upgrade on select trims.

[@bigpebble]

I have never understood why anyone would want a sunroof or worse a panoramic sunroof. Want a convertible, then get one! Unfortunately, my 2024 limited has the pano and being bald I have absolutely no daytime use for this. Maybe I'll try it at night sometime.

[@jamesd4013]

Great video. Very helpful info.

[@TacklingTheGiants]

Did you have any issues with your roof racks? I see theyre off and im curious as ive seen videos with them leaking too.

[@return.of.the.nac18]

Great video. Thank you.

[@rayg3354]

Why are your roof rails off? Are you having the leaks in your Apillars ? Going into your headliner? A problem Toyota knows about.

[@2k_]

thank you

[@nazarettos6987]

Juat get a tank

[@isaiasmejia7713]

Fix mi car

[@marktwo3160]

Do i have to have that fancy tea pot to do the test properly? Is that a Toyota tool part number? Big laugh aside, good info and good test. I bet no one checks that drain until it is too late. I am looking at either a new Mazda or Rav 4 but like you, i do not want that dang moon roof.
