leakage

[lufcjack]

Hi, slight problem - whenever there is heavy rain I get water coming through, underneath the vanity mirrors. Not sure whether the leak is through the sunroof or the top of the windscreen, but front passenger often gets dripped on quite a lot.

Bought the car in June and noticed this while it was under warranty, so had it checked out - but the garage said they couldn't find anything. It's only when the rain is very heavy.

Weird thing is my mum's friend had the same problem with his. Just wondered if anyone else had had this problem as it sounds like a common problem, and where was the leak coming from, how much did it cost to get sorted?!

Cheers all!

I take it you both have Mk1 Clios? Ie upto about 98?

If so them the sunroofs are a pian best fix is to strip them downa dn repalce allt he seals etc but for the cost most people just seal them shut.

Nah mate mines 2002! Even worse really, someone mentioned the drain pipes might be blocked?? Question: What the hell are the drain pipes and how do i get to em!

Drains to take water away 2 one in the front corners of the sun roof. pull the seal off around the headling and pull the headlining down carefully and u will see the black tubes also check the gap bewteen the roof and the sunroof frame i have seen them leak there before
