Default Leaky windshield?

It rained today and I noticed some water droplets dripping from the dome light panel. Specifically, from where the dome light fits into the frame in the headliner, above the sunroof switch assembly.

I took out the sunroof switch (the dome light didn't seem to want to pop out) and didn't see anything - will have a closer look later though. Sunroof is draining just fine, and most of the trough around the roof was dry. A search hear and on QW didn't bring up much.

Any ideas?

Hey Razman,

Check your water channel in your sunroof. See link below for conversations and fixes around this.

Good luck.

Take the sunroof switch out and take the car through a high pressure car wash. Then take a mirror and light to see where the water is going. Might need a second pair of hands to do this.

I noticed that the seal around my windshield had about a 4mm gap. No water issues yet but I'm going to put some black silicone sealant in that open space just in case.
