PSA: Be careful working on our older cars

[jsoto]

I've had the X since '03. It was mine for about 4 1/2 years and I then it became the wifes care.


I'm OCD with any of the cars, whether it's 1 year old or 10. I'll even replace a trim, etc just because it's not newish...
I'll post a pic of how thick the X maint/receipt folder is...one day.

Just recently, I had alot of my custom audio stuff taken out, and made it a bit more wifey/kid friendly. I know something occurred during this time as the problem manifested itself right after, just not sure how or why, but it is what it is.....To make a long story short, some movement/force on the headliner by the top console I suspect cause the seal on my sunroof cassette to go bad.

I had water leaking and initially thought the drain hose has come loose.
Upon further diagnosis and confirmation, sunroof casette is bad/damaged and well....if you know what part I'm talking about, between the part and labor, it's one helluva costly repair on our now 12-13 year old car.
