Water Coming Out Of Clock

[JDF]

Have another little problem :rolleyes:

After the heavy rain of the last few days - water now drips out of the overhead clock on our Mk1 as you first drive off.

 

Anyone know how to fix?

 

Water must be collecting in the drip tray of the sunroof, although most of it runs down the drain tubes, when you first pull away out of the drive, some water enters the headliner & drips throught the clock. But how is it getting into the clock - can't see a hole in the body work.

 

Any ideas what to look for???

 

Cheers Guys & Girls in advance....

Common cause is blocked drain pipes from the sun roof. Net curtain wire is ideal for clearing any blockages.

You are correct in what you are saying.

 

The water runs from the sunroof down behind the roof lining and exits around the clock.

There is no hole in the bodywork....this is a classic example of a leaky sunroof.

It can also appear at the doors as well.

 

As Chromedome mentioned it is nearly always blocked drainage tubes.
