Water inside

Post by Oke »

Hy,
I have a problem with my mx-3, when it rains in the back of the driver seat, there is a lot of water :( . I dont have rust under the car in the area. I saw this problem after i greased the sunroof, with heat resistant grease and W40, because i want'it to work smoth. But i dont know if this is the problem or maybe is just a coincidence.
The sunroof has some draining sistem that i clogged, if yes can you tell me whear is it, and how to unclogged the sistem please.
Thanks for the help and i apologize if the english is bad.

if you went to heavy on the grease you may have clogged the drain ports, one on each corner, drop the headliner and flush them out

Does anyone have any repair procedures for this? I searched the internet and found vague descriptions of what to do. I searched the forums too and only found this. Maybe I am searching wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a source for compressed air, just give it a few blasts down the drain tubes, that should clear it.

Maybe I have to much gunk or something on the top and I can't see the drainhole. I took the deflector off to get a better look and didn't see it. I also have a little standing water in it too, so maybe thats the reason. Btw, anyone have a suggestion for a grease that works good, I have a few tubs of different multi-purpose grease.

I believe my problem is stemming off excessive sand mixing with the grease and clogging it up. (This is a project car that has been sitting in my backyard, and my bakyard is really sandy, and these people that stayed with us (wifes family)had a stoopid dog that liked to climb on top of it to look around)
