    Rain instrusion.. from On Star?

    Sunroof was closed.. roof gutter trim slightly lifted, as it periodically does.. how did this happen? weather seal looks good on sunroof. Is it possible that the rubber has shrunk JUST enough?

    Rained last night, and I was getting drips on my face while making a swift right hander..

    Don't remember the exact details, but there are drain holes in the recces around the sunroof area. They could be blocked, which would probably cause your issue. I believe they are supposed to be cleaned periodically to keep them free of debris..............

    I had the same thing happen about a month ago. I think what happened is that the car was sitting and wasn't able to drain at a particular angle. When I started to drive I had it briefly then it stopped.

    The sunroof gasket looks fine but a little dry. I went over it with some Nero rubber dressing. I also poured water down the two drains to ensure it does indeed drain. The drains worked fine so I still chalk it up to pooling when parked at a certain angle then spirited driving doesn't give the drains a chance to drain all the water properly
