Hi! I drive an 89 Civic SI and i'm having trouble with water pouring in on my head. Usually, after it has rained i will get in to go somewhere and when i come to a stop at the end of the driveway, water comes from the rear part of the sunroof onto my head. I see that there are 2 drains in the front corners of the sunroof area - i am wondering if there are any in for the rear that could possibly be plugged and how accessible are they for me to unclog or replace? I am also getting water in my trunk area and i assume it is from the same leak. Thanks for your help.

 

LOL this is why u dont get a sunroof, so u dont have to worry about getting ur hair wet, hopefully someone will have some good advice for u.

 

I wish i could help... but i only get water pouring down on me when I have the sun roof open... and forgot that there are some water on top. :-P Closing it solved my problem.

 

find something to clean those drains and it will solve your problems. Check your taillight seals my hatch was taking in water and when I siliconed around them the water stayed out. Hope this helps.

 

Yes, there are rear drain tubes. You can clean them by blasting compressed air through the channels. It's a lot easier to do if you remove the sunroof module from the car, but doing that is quite a pain. So, it depends on how brave you are. It took me about 90 minutes to remove the sunroof module (motor, frame and all) from my CRX, and I'd never done it before.

 

Just replace the damn Sunroof with a carbon fiber filler panel, save the weight and keep the water out...

you've got a water-cooled head, lol

thats hilarious lol i found the humor in it.

 

I got your fix...Open the hatch and remove the side panels...the ones that just pop off...look around in there and you will find a hose about a quarter sized around....pull on it and it will come apart and you will see a cone looking piece in the end of the hose.remove that or clean it out and reassemble...no more waterfall on your head
