I have a sunroof that is leaking, what should I do?
For electric inbuilt sunroofs (glass retracts into the vehicle under the headliner); in the trough around the inside of the sunroof, there will be drain tubes (usually found in the corners) to allow water to run through. These drain tubes can become clogged over time. The best way to unclog them is to use an air compressor. Most of the time, a compressed force of air will clear the tubes. If it does not, we recommend you have your local sunroof technician clean out your drain tubes. If a mistake is made and your drain tubes detach, the water will run directly into your vehicle.
What is a panoramic sunroof or roof?
In general, the term "panoramic sunroof" is used when there is more than one roof glass panel on a vehicle. Many panoramic roofs consist of three parts; the front, the center (movable), and the fixed rear glass. Others consist of two separate roof glass panels, a front sliding (or fixed) and a rear stationary. In some instances, a vehicle may have one large stationary roof glass.
Should I use the new car dealer to replace the sunroof glass?
To simply replace the broken sunroof glass, dealerships will typically quote replacing the entire sunroof cassette by removing the headliner, sun-visors, console, pillars and airbags, driving up the cost of the repair substantially. This repair diagnosis is commonly unnecessary and the final cost, in time, money, and wear and tear can be excessive. Our process has us determine the most practical, efficient and complete repair without adding unnecessary time or material.
