Water intrusion due to sun roof drains / sound traps:
Prior to performing any work related to this issue, be sure the vehicle falls within the chassis limits listed. If the vehicle does not fall within chassis
limits, move on to the next possible known cause. See Water intrusion via A pillar at the cowl area.
AFFECTED VEHICLES:
DESCRIPTION:
We've had cases of sunroof drains coming loose or having blocked sound traps at the front end of the drain tubes. This may cause water to drain into the
front floor area. Shortened sound traps and an improved installation process have been introduced to minimize the risk of blockage and / or incorrect
assembly.
