Roof Leak

**SiRbossR** · October 12th, 2014 09:24 PM

Hi Guys, really need your help. Nagkakaleak during malakas na ulan ung roof ko and i don't know saan nangagaling. Dati wala naman to bigla lang nagkaron. It's so annoying.

I've checked sa windshield, sa antenna pero hindi dun ang source.

Can anybody recommend where I can have this checked and fixed? Thanks in advance

Taking a stab at it.

Your sunroof drains may be clogged.

My focus doesn't have a sunroof. It's the TDCi model. Wala naman ibang butas or anything mounted on the roof for water to pass.

Hot damn!

Now that IS a problem.

If there's nothing mounted (or drilled) on the roof, your likely culprit may be the windshield weather stripping. Water may slowly dribble in from there and creep to the lowest possible area. Remember that all it takes is a small hole (or crack) for water to come thru.

Try hosing (gentle flow) down your windshield area and see what happens.

If you have visited shops that jack the car up from one corner instead of front or rear center , chances are that the butyl tape used to install and seal the windshield against the body has delaminated or peeled off causing a gap and leak

I do think that it's the windshield that is causing it. Months before, i did not have this problem, but the car is most of the time parked in an open parking. Before, it only happened once and kahit anong lakas ng ulan, walag leak, now, nagkakaleak everytime malakas ang ulan or matagal ang ulan.

I'll probably have to bring it to Aguila glass to have it resealed siguro.
