Hi guys,

A few months ago, after X5 sitting under heavy rain over night, when I started to drive the car in the morning I noticed a few drops of water dripping from up top, and when I looked, I saw some wet spots around the sunroof button. I thought may be it was condensation and left it at that, especially since it didn't drip again that day, and we have had sunny weather ever since.

Well, today was the first day of stormy/heavy rain weather here in San Jose, and my car was parked outside all day at work. The same thing happened when I returned to the car... it dripped only during my first brake and first turn. Again, these were only a few drips (3-5 tops.)

I have read some other threads on this and I am not clear whether it is the whole sunroof (hope not, out of warranty), or whether it is the drain tubes being kinked or clugged.

I am worried this may cause some electrical short or something, so I parked the X5 indoor for tonight and parked my wife's 328i outside.


Any suggestions on where to start looking? should I start from the center console, or A pillar covers?

Any suggestion on easy fixes for this, if indeed the problem is 'just' a kinked tube?

Thanks for your advice.
