This past week we experienced some pretty torrential rain, and I came out to my 4.8is to find that the driver's side front and rear carpet was wet and there was a pool of water in the passenger side trunk. I tore everything apart and removed the headliner in order to do a proper inspection and to dry it all out. What I have found is that none of the drains were detached or clogged (the rear passenger one may have been slightly restricted), so what I think happened is that the sunroof seal just allowed too much water to bypass and overwhelmed the drains.
So, I am replacing the seal, and am addressing a few other points that I see. One question I have is does the factory rear panoramic glass have a seal that goes around the entire perimeter? My glass only had a seal on the one front face. See the attached realoem.com image that had me question this.
Also, it appears that the sunroof cartridge on this model year had a service bulletin and called for a revised design. Does anyone know what changes were made for the new design?
