| Description of the problem | The drain in the sunroof is defective. There are a lot of complaints on the internet of this problem. I constantly "clear the drain as told by the car dealership" but the drain still leaks while you are driving and this becomes a major distraction. The water is dripping from my overhead lights down into my gear shifter. This is a major distraction to me because it takes my attention away from my driving while i am focusing on trying to stop it from leaking all over mechanics in my vehicle and also trying to keep it from shorting out my electrical system. You can't ignore it because it is right in front of you dripping while you are driving! |
