We had a VERY bad winter, snow, rain and then freezing. Now my double sunroof leaks when I drive through a car wash. Not during rain but the pressure from the car wash makes it leak.

I don't really know where it can leak from, any guidance and help as to fix it is very much appreciated.
Thanks ........

there are drains in each corner that can get blocked. mine just needed some compressed air to blow the crud out - i tested them by pouring water into them and seeing if it came out the bottom, had to repark a couple times for the angle. could be the seals too i guess, where does the water leak in?

you're welcome... you might want to check under your carpets - i squeezed a litre or two of (really icky) water from just the driver side and had to let it sit for a couple of days to dry- it was totally soaked but i didn't even notice until i went there looking for a wire. http://www.bimmernut.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35942
