Technical Background

The components installed in the vehicle for the panoramic roof work together to manage water intrusion as a system.

There are three primary components working together.

1. The outer seal - seals the body to the glass to stop water from coming in. This is the first line of defense.
2. The frame of the panoramic roof - water channels are built into the frame, any water making it past the first line of defense is handled by this second line of defense.
3. The front and rear drains - receive water from the frame and provide a path for water to exit the vehicle at the wheel wells.
