leaking sun roof?

[LiamR172]

Right so...

the sunroof has been leaking for ages now, my carpets ended up drenched and the foam under the carpets is now black with mould.

ive removed the carpets etc to dry them out and ive sealed the sunroof shut with sillocone which kept it dry for a few weeks.

went out yesterday morning and the water was dripping off my roof like a tap. my seat and footwell are both soaking wet.

any ideas how to solve this b**ch?

thanks.

It's a common problem with clios, there are 2 things you can do.

1 - Try and clean up any mould or gunk from around the seal for the sunroof and see if it stops leaking

2 - Get the sunroof re-sealed.

I know a few people that have had to get theirs re-sealed because they were leaking.


Edit:

Could have tried using the search tool first mate

Ah, that's because you're not a paid member.

It's a step by step guide on resealing your own sunroof.

You'll have to pay the £12 membership fee and join up to be able to see it. Membership is worth it anyway from the free stuff you get and all the other parts of the forum you get access to.

i didnt know there was a paid membership :/

what sort of free stuff do you get etc etc and is the 12 quid a monthly payment or one off?

thanks for the info, i didnt think of doing the search :/

i guess ill have to get it resealed because ive cleaned out the 2 little drain pipes already and that obviously hasnt worked!

thank you

£12 a year mate. Its worth it for that guide alone.

Mine leaked quite badly, followed that guide and hasn't leaked since.

 

[LiamR172]

Is there any chance you could copy and paste the guide in here? I'm on my mobile at work atm staying away from home so I could really do witht eh guide before friday so I can pre pare for the weekend! Then ill sign up for the membership on saturday
If you can't paste it here, can you tell me if its hard and what sort of goodies I would need to get it all sealed again? Thanks

 

[Jon.G]

Lol. Just sign up mate. It's £12.

 

[LiamR172]

I will sign up at the weekend but I'm in a city working through the week so if I know what I need I can buy it and then do it when I get home at the weekend. I live in a village so there's nowhere to buy car parts or nything really. Only the local garage which is a rip off!

 

[Bux]

Because of the rules we can't copy and paste the guide.

However I think it would be alright to post the materials needed as its not telling you how to do it

Tools needed.

10mm socket
Wrench
Flathead screwdriver
Size 20 torx bit
Silcone gun

Materials needed.

Transparent/Black all purpose sealer.
Alcohol

 

[LiamR172]

Alcohol? Haha alright thanks bux, sorry if this is a stupid question but what's an all purpose sealer? Silocone aye?

 

[Jon.G]

I used silicone. However it doesn't have to be done with a silicone sealer. If you can get a silicone gun as well it will make life much easier.

 

[LiamR172]

Yes I've got a silicone gun and plenty silicone so that's alright. What's the alcohol for though?

 

[LiamR172]

Anyone, alcohol?

 

[Jon.G]

cleaning.
