quick question .. did/do you drive the hatchback or sedan ..? just curious because when you say take out all the plastic from the trunk .. im wondering if you actually mean the trunk itself (right by where the rear wheel well area is) .. or the trunk as in the back area of the sedan where the rear windshield is ..?..Quote:

Does anyone know if there is a how to on how to replace the sunroof glass or can anyone tell me how to do it?
The roof seal was never meant to keep out water. It is an air noise seal. The roof was designed to leak into the drains. Honda did this becasue they knew a roof window will never seal long term. Just allow it to leak and provide drains to take care of it. The compressed air only works for small clogs and only if you have a nozzle to get into the drains. You also need alot of air pressure to dislodge clogs. Taking the hose ends off is the best and possibly the only way to get them unclogged.
Spring down pours resulted in water everywhere. Thanks TO the advise above, cleaned out the 4 drains and staying dry. THANKS!
I didn't know this I just sealed it with silicone every winter and stuffed a towel in it and only the person in the passanger seat got a shower lol.Quote:

Have any of you tried disabling the sunroof by pulling the fuse and sealing all around the exterior of the roof with silicone? Will this work?
My last resort is to take it to a body shop and probably pay $100's to stop the water.
Been tried by many and works quite well, if you like hillbilly fixes. I won't use silicone anymore, though. I've had it fail too many times, especially the crap that GE sells. If you want it to seal forevermore, use RTV silicone gasket maker. Failing that, the Alex Plus from DAP works quite well, and is very cheap.Quote:

It's possible it's caused by someone sticking something down the drain trying to clean it out.
This is an obscure sunroof drain detail from the early days! It happened to me, after a new antenna was installed, but I couldn't/didn't want to get way in there to try to reconnect the Y connection. I reasoned that if I cleaned out the tube which was probably plugged up at its end, that the water wouldn't back up into the Y and soak the driver's carpet. So I cleaned the end of the drain, left the drain from the antenna motor unplugged, and fortunately never had another problem.Quote:
