Its usually the ariel leaking, the seal perishes and it leaks through the light

[Spanky]

Yea liek said its usually the ariel.

Ive had both, on my old saxo my sunroof leaked in, to the extent that i ened up with puddles in the car about an inch deep!!

Garage charged me £60 to investigate exactly where the leek was coming from (which was the black trim round the glass on the roof) and then seal it up.

Now the saxo i have now the ariel leaks in lol luckely this is a little easier to fix, just pull out your interior light, you will then see a bolt witht he ariel wire attached, undo the bolt which will free the ariel, get some silicone, put a little bit on the ariel and refit.

Jobs a gudun!

Do the ariel first yourself, see if that fixes the problem, if nto take it to a garage to investigate the leek, BUT! shop around first, i got quoted up to £300 at first but then got it done for £60 liek said and that was from a VERY reputable garage :y:

the drain holes in your sun roof will be blocked i aint 100% sure where they are as my dad did mine when i baught the car.

make sure the rubber bit round the ourside is still stuck on properly
thats where mine was leaking

[Master_VTR]

mine was down to the the removing of the light to find that the aerial bolt was quite loose so i tightened it but when tightening be careful cos you aerial base on the roof tends to spin as well so two ppl would make this job a lot easier

make sure the rubber bit round the ourside is still stuck on properly
thats where mine was leaking

Thats where mine was leaking aswell.

May be worth pulling it off and re-sealing it pal :y:

[toms_vtr]

im not sure if this will help but apparently if it leaks from the front of the window it is a problem with the aerial but if it leaks from the back it the window seal around it!

Same happened to me. Have a look at this:

Try re-sealing the rubber if that dosent work then just replace the hole sun roof rubber seal.

i will take it apart at weekend and have a good look at it and clean the holes out thanks

Had the same problem on my motor. It turned out to be the sunroof, the passenger side drain had blocked.. If you have the same problem it is probably blocked at the base of the car where the water comes out. To unblock this i unfixed the roof interior to locate the rubber pipe coming from the sunroof. all you have to do then is attach a garden hose with an inline adapter and turn it on. this unblocked mine within ten mins and all fixed!! I have also heard that some have done the same with compressed air which is prob not as messy!!!

Yep I have the same problem on the gf's saxo, although hers is also leaking thru the rear washer jet :S its got a blob of sealant round it at the mo until i get a new jet flush the boot and the jet lol

[RyanSaxo]

so its not hard to fix the problem then i will give it ago
