Pinpoint Test B : The Roof Opening Panel Leaks: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
When the roof opening panel glass is completely closed, it is flush with the roof panel. The roof opening panel weatherstrip provides a seal against adverse weather conditions such as rain and wind, preventing them from entering the passenger compartment. A damaged, deformed or incorrectly installed weatherstrip is unable to seal the glass efficiently. The roof opening panel trough assembly and drain hoses provide a route for water to drain away from the opening panel, damaged or obstructed drain hoses or trough assembly will allow water to collect and possibly leak into the passenger compartment.
Possible Causes
- Incorrect roof opening panel glass alignment
- Roof opening panel drain hoses
- Roof opening panel glass seals
- Damaged roof opening panel frame
- Incorrect position of the roof opening panel glass
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
