I've been lurking on this site for a while now and hope you guys don't mind my asking for help on my first post, but I really need it.
For starters, I did a search and couldn't find the answer.
My sunroof is leaking. I conducted an experiment and concluded the sunroof is definitely the source. The water runs down the right A pillar and onto the floorboard. The water never makes its way to anywhere else. The headliner is always 100% dry, too.
I took my '03 KJ Limited to the dealership and the mechanic said the sunroof just needed a minor adjustment. I paid $118 for the labor and I was on my way. The result? I still have the problem. When I took it in again (less than three weeks later), the mechanic told me I've got a warped sunroof. He showed it to me and told me how obvious it was that my sunroof was warped. When I asked him how come he didn't notice it before, he said he didn't know. All I've heard from this guy are a bunch of "I don't know's," "maybe's," some "possibly's, and then more "I don't know's."
He said the front part of my sunroof is okay because it's flush with the roof. He said the rear is up a bit (i.e. not flush with the roof) and therefore the glass must be warped.
I can see what he's saying. However, since the mechanic hasn't struck me as being too bright, I wonder whether or not replacing the glass will really solve the problem. I've never had this problem before.
Thanks!
