D1 300 auto 1998 . Usual sunroof issues , leaking lots now with this heavy rain . I had the rubber seal out of the rear one the other day , cleaned and reseated , blew air at the corners with the drains but was very pressed for time due to weather and had to get it back together and shut before really addressing it properly . There is mass water from the rear unit draining through roof lining where it kinks down and more through the front unit running out of the control box over the windscreen . This control is now non working so I will be opening the unit via allen key .
I have done searches and read the books and now think that I must dismantle each unit , clean , reseal to body , reseat seals , clear drain holes , check drain tube connection , blow tubes through and shut them never to be re opened . Putting holes in the roof of a car is a bloody silly idea anyway .
What I need clarification on -
where do drain tubes come detached ? Outside of unit tray ?
do I need to remove trays completely from outside ?
do I need to remove whole roof lining to access this and other parts ? Or can I get away with releasing lining around the back and sides ?
Where do the rear unit drain pipes come out ?
is there anything else I need to know before starting this job ? Other than having Sika type PU mastic and airline available ?
is there a step by step anywhere other than whats in the books and rave ?
thanks for peoples time reading this , this is an issue I have rarely bothered with but I have a high spec vehicle that I would like to keep this time so would like to solve this . As I say , I have searched and read the advice already given but there were a few points I was still unclear on .
