				"trunk" was dry, driver's side floor wet; so I sealed the sunroof
			 
 
			
			I'm still figuring out my X5, and what remains of the original wiring in the trunk, before I can fix/repair/upgrade what's left (DSP?, CD/RADIO circuits, telematics? or even to tie-into the I-Bus wire back there), so I really don't need water damage there, too.  I did have water up front, though. 
I never liked nor used sunroofs (or T-tops or convertibles), and have seen nothing but problems faced by those using/owning them, over the years. Recently, my X5 reminded me of their problematic nature, by flooding the floor at my feet. https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...e-floor-2.html .
 
I cleared the drains, lubed the tracks, and made my sunroof work flawlessly...and then removed fuse #58 and sealed the glass with paint protection tape, not really noticeable under my homemade roof rack (another story https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...roof-rack.html ).
 
So, I'm now free from flooded trunk and floors for awhile. And with the steel grid over my sunroof too, free from hail and tree debris damage as well. At least there wasn't a $1k repair, or soaked modules before it was sealed.
