Something else to try if you haven’t tried it yet.
Ok guys. Your pleas of woe have spurred me into action. I rarely post but felt Paul N. might be near crisis point with his wet coupe.
I spent an afternoon recently with a hose pipe, an airline and a tube of the rather sexily named ‘3M 08509’, a non hardening auto sealant.
I had the headlining edge pulled off, loads of trim off, sunroof in bits etc.
Surprisingly my sunroof was not leaking. I had thought it was. Luckily my windscreen area was ok also.
The major leaks I found were getting in on both sides from under the trim arrowed in the pic and through the roof rack insert areas.
What I did was to gun in some sealant under the trim arrowed (from the top side after drying with the airline). I also removed the roof rack inserts, squirted a bit of sealant around the holes, then replaced the inserts. Rub off the excess with a rag and job done.
If you’re wet give it a try. Worth a try if you’re desperate I’d say. I can’t remember this particular leak being mentioned before – hence the post. Do post and let me know if it’s helped anyone.
