after asking on here last night i have found that my front sunroof drain channels are leaking into the front of my car,i jacked the front up and poured a litre of water in the channels so it trickled out of the rear channels no problems.so the Question is can i block the front 2 channels with waterproof sealent so it just runs down the back channels??or won't this work.thanks

the drain chanels normaly have a plastic pipe fitted to them which runs down and out of the cill,are yours still fitted .
you should be able to see them under the car or if you take out the roof lineing

buftyboy

havent looked if the plastic pipes are still on at the front but they deffo are at the back mate.not keen on taking roof lining out for a look

buftyboy

anyone??is it ok the block the front channels???

SPADGE

Why don't you just unblock the front channels???

buftyboy

how mate??

SPADGE

Poke a metal coat hanger gently down the front channels either side until it appears under the wheel arches where the drains end!

Or you could try an airline on there but don't go mad with it or you may blow the hoses off the channel at the top!!

buftyboy

sweet,will try tomorrow

what spadge says,.
as the drains are there for a reoson mate not to block up

I unblocked the channels on my girlfriends old Fiesta. I used some plastic rod - I think it's the stuff sparkies use to draw extra cables through conduit...

Just go steady and don't damage the channels
