| Description of the problem | Always the drains on the moon roof get clogged and in a heavy rain, the back of the car roof seriously leaks into the car. We do not use the roof. This is a design flaw. Now the electronics box (controls remote key locks, tire pressure gauge, etc) needs to be replaced because it has been wet. This is a $500+ repair that has happened because the roof leaks in serious rain. We believe subaru should reimburse us for the cost of the electronic box replacement. We also have to pay to get the roof drain unglogged. |
