How to Repair a Sunroof in a Car

If your sunroof is leaking, there are steps you can take to attempt to repair the problem on your own. However, if these steps dont resolve the problem or if there is a different problem with your sunroof you should seek the assistance of a professional repair person. A stuck sunroof requires removing part of the headliner and a cracked sunroof requires removing the glass and replacing the seal. These are all jobs best left to a professional so that you dont cause additional leaks.

Instructions

1

Clean the closed sunroof with mild detergent and wipe clean with the cloth.

2

Open the sunroof fully. Locate the drain tubes in each of the four corners. Blow out each tube with the compressed air canister.

3

Pour a small amount of water down each drain tube. If any of the water backs up, you have a clog. Untwist the wire hanger and straighten it out so you have a long pipe or just use the wired pipe cleaner. Gently insert the wire into the drain tube opening and attempt to remove the clog. Do not force the wire and do not scrape the tubing.

4

Clean the trough in the sunroof tracks with the compressed air canister or the detergent and cloth.

5

Inspect the seal surrounding the sunroof tracks. If there are any cracks or if there is significant wear, take the car to a sunroof repair shop.
