Another sunroof/water mystery

mikado463 · 02-26-2022, 03:49 PM

yesterday for the first time I had some water intrusion into my '17 X5, a small amount dripped from the pivot point of the drivers side sun visor ? As this has never happened before and we had just come out of a freezing rain storm that morning I'm not sure if that wasn't part of the problem ?

Gonna warm up to near 50 tomorrow I'll test the drainage then, any other thoughts ?

Usual suspect, the sunroof drains.

This is the first thing to check - sunroof drains.

This forum has lots of info on this infamous sun roof drain. I had this issue and finally got this fixed from dealer.

well after further checking things out today drains seem to be functioning just fine. apparently the freeze and freezing rain storm the other morning created some sort of issue ? !
