2008 Pontiac Vibe Dripping Wet at Top of A-Pillar, Fixing Moonroof Sunroof Leak

In this video I troubleshoot and fix a dripping headliner. The hose for the sunroof drain was just lose enough to drip. It took roughly 20 minutes to fix it after work one day.

Thank You!

Thank you for this video. My 2006 Vibe is leaking in the exact same place, but I do not have a sunroof. Any thoughts on that? Could it be leaking through the roof racks somehow?

In my research of this issue it was often found to be the windshield leaking at the top, but I suppose it could be the racks.

Darn! That makes a lot of sense, I have an 04 with 278k that I bought from my gparents who bought it new. I had and thought I fixed the issue of the hose but after you saying the windshield I have noticed my windshield seal is not 100% anymore so I should go check that too!

Roof rack leads to the windshield that may have dry rotted silicone/rubber

I am just seeing this as I now own 2 vibes and both leak. One with sun/moon roof the other without. Both were leaking from roof racks and top of windshields. Also sun/moon roof seal leaking at both back corners. I just have some painters tape over the edges of my sunroof right now and took racks off and sealed all ports of entry and sealed top of windshields. Seems to be holding well so far. I would suggest a car cover or carport as any aftermarket sealant will not last the seasonal elements for too long. As sor sunroof on mine. I will be getting all new seals as I do not want to seal off and not be able to use it.

Mine used to do that, and I added a small glob of silicon caulk at the front edge of the rail where the A pillar joins the roof. Hasn't leaked since (at least 5 years).

@striker did this process work? I have the same leak in the same exact way.

[@striker1211]

Yes, but it is one of many places vibes can leak. The other problem spots are the windshield top seal and roof rails.

[@ochocinco8five]

@@striker1211 assuming the Toyota Matrix has the same windshield and roof rails leaks, do you have content on that in your channel?

[@LegacyOwnershipHoldings]

What's the size of the hose clamp did you use?

[@striker1211]

I used a 1/4, it I'd recommend getting an assortment pack with how many times they've came in handy. Good luck on your repair.

My 08 Subaru is leaking from the same spot but I don’t even have a sunroof/moonroof 🙃

My 2007 Pontiac vibe is leaking from the same spot and I do not have a moonroof

[@scrotex6592]

@@franktime4425 turns out the water was coming through a hole I was running my light bar cables through, I popped off the rain gutters and squirted some sealant in the hole and it’s all fixed now!
