Leaking A series Moon Roof

[jaybrian32]

how do can anyone tell me where the drain points are on an A series Swb moon roof, mne leaks when its been stood in ran all day, I've had the panel out, cleaned the inner and outer seal, no dice. I've noticed a small channel that runs around the roof opening approx 2mm wide, but can find where this would drain

If you look on the C posts there are two things that look like grills that are held in with a few torx screws...whip these out and I think the drains pass down through there...

[jaybrian32]

Yeah those are easy to find behind the rear light clusters, its the actual points on the roof where it drains from I'm searching for, hazarding a guess they're blocked if I can't find them.

Remove the moon roof and put an air line on on the pipes behind the grills in the c post that will blow the crap out!

[jaybrian32]

Do they only drain on the rear then? Or are is there the same arrangement up front?

[jellybaby]

Nope only drain to the rear as the roof can be removed. Check the clips actually pull the roof down tight I had to adjust mine been a while since I had my 2.0 though.

[jaybrian32]

Now that makes sense, didn't realise the clips were adjustable, do you remember how you adjusted them?

[jellybaby]

Think there were screws on them.

Ok quick update, had the side grills off, O/S no pipe at all, N/S rubber pipe with joint as described, so I split the joint dug a little deeper and squirted the rear washer, this pipe is the feed for the re washer.

So it appears the moon roof has NO drains and relies on a water tight seal. I found the adjuster screw on each roof latch, there was loads of room fir adjustment, so did so. Now just gotta wait a bit and see if it's now sealing

Just hit it with a hose pipe!!!!

[jaybrian32]

Hahaha no need, it was Yellow watering down all night, no drips frim the hard top, just gotta dry the carpet out now, cindensation is a pain first thing in the am.

Well done fella. Bring on the summer!!!!!!!

[jaybrian32]

Hmm a few more drips on the side panel yesterday, added more tension on the clips.

[jaybrian32]

Grrrrrr still bloody leaking! Looks like I'll be buyingsome tiger seal after all

Looks like I am about to do this as well, SWB has been in the garage since summer, it was parked outside Sunday night and it bleep down with rain and I now have loadsa water coming in

[jaybrian32]

Ok, added more tension on the adjusters and its rained all day, so far no drips inside........fingers crossed I've sorted it.

[4x4 bobby]

Just one question fella? Have you made sure the seal is clean and the area where the roof seats. I put a good smear of vasalene on mine then shut it and it never leaked. I was also able to remove it in the summer.

[jaybrian32]

Yeah, removed the top and cleaned inner and outer seals.....when weather improves I'm gonna remove it again, warm the seals with hair dryer so they regain thier original shape, got a section where the lip has been folded the wrong way. Will treat em to vaseline at the same time.

Touch wood it hasn't leaked today.
