aftermarket sunroof leak?
« on: 30 January 2013, 19:15 »
mk2 1.3 4+e the sunroof is just a push up one. (not on rails) its leaking water all over my head and I have a leak in passengers footwell aswell so might be related as iv put new membrane and seal the leaf heater vent.

but can't seem to find the drain hole exit points. any one know where they might be front and back??

doubt you will have them, if its an aftermarket " cut a hole whack in a seal and some glass " type roof

Pictures will be required . . . . .
