Pinpoint Test B : The Roof Opening Panel Leaks: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKZ. 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 seals provide a seal against adverse weather conditions such as rain and wind, preventing them from entering the passenger compartment. A damaged, deformed or incorrectly installed seal is unable to seal the glass efficiently. The roof opening panel trough assembly, drain cups and drain hoses provide a route for water to drain away from the opening panel, damaged or obstructed drain hoses, drain cups or trough assembly will allow water to collect and possibly leak into the passenger compartment.
Possible Causes
- Roof opening panel seal(s)
- Roof opening panel glass alignment
- Roof opening panel drain hoses
- Roof opening panel drain cups
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
- Roof opening panel trough
- Roof opening panel seals
