Why is my sunroof leaking?

Sunroof leaks are most often caused by clogged drain tubes. All sunroofs are designed to let some water in, which is then channeled away by drain tubes that run down the pillars of the car. When these tubes become clogged with dirt and debris, the water can back up and leak into the cabin.

My sunroof is making a grinding noise. What could be the problem?

A grinding noise is usually a sign of a problem with the sunroof motor or the track mechanism. The gears in the motor may be stripped, or there may be a broken or damaged part in the track. It's important to have this inspected as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

How much does it cost to repair a sunroof in Mesa, AZ?

I’m David Jr., your personal mechanic, and I focus on thorough, diagnostic-first service to fix your sunroof efficiently without unnecessary parts replacements.

Sunroof problems can stem from a variety of causes such as a faulty motor, broken or misaligned tracks, damaged switches, or clogged drain tubes that lead to leaks. I use advanced diagnostic tools including wiring diagrams, multimeter, and oscilloscope testing to pinpoint circuit-level issues that might be causing your sunroof to malfunction. Arizona’s intense heat can accelerate wear on electrical components and batteries, so I carefully check all wiring and connections to ensure reliable operation.

My diagnostic process begins by testing the sunroof switch and verifying power delivery to the motor. Then I inspect the mechanical track and moving parts for damage or obstructions. If your sunroof is leaking, I clear any clogged drainage tubes and examine seals to prevent water intrusion. Once the root cause is identified, I’ll explain the problem clearly and provide a detailed, transparent repair quote.
