BODY

Wind Noise or Water Leaks From the Moonroof

SYMPTOM

Water leaks or wind noise at highway speeds from the front or rear edge of the moon roof.

PROBABLE CAUSE

There is a gap between the roof and the weatherstrip on the edge of the moon roof.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Apply EPT Sealer 5T (see REQUIRED MATERIALS) between the weatherstrip and moonroof frame.





1. With the moonroof closed, inspect the front and rear edges for gaps between the weatherstrip and the roof. Note the location and length of any gaps.

2. If the gap is in the front, slide the moonroof all the way back. If the gap is in the rear, tilt up the moon roof.





3. Cut a strip of EPT Sealer 5T the same length as the gap noted in step 1. Trim the strip so it is 5 mm wide.





4. Lift up the weatherstrip along the gap area. Clean the moonroof frame under the weatherstrip with isopropyl alcohol.





5. Remove the backing from the EPT Sealer 5T. Apply the EPT to the moon roof frame in the area of the gap.

6. Open and close the moon roof several times, then verify that there is no longer a gap.
