Default Headliner water drips and skylight drain

I fixed the leaks coming from the headliner at the top of the windshield. It turned out that the skylight drain tubes were clogged. The skylight has pin holes at the corners of the skylight, which are the drain ports. The ports connect to a plastic tube that runs downs the left/right windshield post.


The interior cover on the posts need to be removed in order to expose the drain tube. The hand grabs have 10mm bolts that need to be removed, then the cover can be pryed off. There is a plastic cap over the bolts, which are removed by inserting a razer blade on the edge and prying the cap gently. Once the post cover is removed, the 1/4" plastic tube is exposed. At the bottom of the post there is a black rubber 90 degree elbow for the tube, and the elbow allows water to drain down the frame cavity and to the ground. This elbow is where grime was built up and clogged water from draining. Pull out the elbow and clean. Recommend to use scissors to remove a bit of the end of bottom of the elbow in order to open it up more. A 20 minute fix for you.


The dealer wanted $150 to fix and said that the skylight drains were likely plugged.
