Default Roof Leak

Hello everyone,

I am a new member here and this is my first post.

I was wondering if any other 850 owners have had a problem with the roof leaking. Its not leaking from the sun roof, but from the rubber gaskets on the sides of the roof.

I would like to fix this problem myself, but I would like to get some advice if possible......

Thank You.

I would look at the sunroof drains under the headliner.

Thedrain hose might have come off. Or the glass itself is leaking and draining out of the normal drain area.

The leak that The Anvil had was at the front of the moon roof glass and was leaking right above my head. A little clear silicone around the leading edge and no more leak.

I also think you may have lost a drain pipe.

If you haven't lost a drain hose, one is most likely clogged. Either way, when you get into it, you will want to make sure everything the seals are intact and not twisted/torn, etc.... just my .02
