2000 Honda Civic Si moonroof leaking.

[CivicSiRacer]

My car has about 56,000 miles on it and in January 2002 it had the sunroof fixed under warrenty due to a recall on the sunroof squeaking. All they did was put in a plastic tape/strip around the outside of the sunroof (against the paint). After that it started leaking into the courtesy light. Water collects in the gutter towards the front of the sunroof, which then (I think) leaks into the courtesy light and drips down into the holder underneath the e-brake handle. Anyone know what to do?

Sunroof leaks...there are drain holes in the sunroof, two in the front in the corners, and two in the back. I have an integra and had the same problem, it is becasue after a while the drain holes get plugged. Use an air compressor, or straightened clothes hanger to clean the drain holes. The front ones drain right behind your front wheel wells, Then the rears drain behind your rear whell wells. You can't get to the rear ones from the sunroof, but if you take off your rear bumper...there are several ways, you should find rubber hose type things that poke out from the body of your car. Stick a clothes hanger up those, and twist around, but be kina careful, just in case. When I did this water began flowing like niagra falls, it was amazing...no more leaky leaky.

I wouldn't use a coat hanger, just blow a little compressed air in the holes and you should be good to go

If you need a little longer reach than a coat hanger can give you, Walmart sells plastic covered solid wire to use as clothesline in the hardware section. I think I bought 50' for <$3. To be extra safe, just wrap the tip with some softer tape so that there are no sharp tips to snag/tear the drain hoses.
