Water leaks

Post by BM3MW »

So guys my car smells bad and leaks water everytime it rains :sad: So my carpets and headliner are water damaged. So i today started the job of redoing my headliner and finding the leaks. I started with removing the headliner and found that my sunroof drains are either disconedted or the drain pipes have just broken off. To start my questions: where do i find new drain pipes and side panel clips? Im assuming i need to repalce the drian pipes all the way from the sunroof to wherever they end up on the bottom of the car. Also i kindof bent my headliner when i was removing it from the car, do you think i can still use it? Also what is this gooey black stuff on my door molding + where do i get it? I will attach photos so you guys know what im talking about. Is there anywhere else i need to check on the top of the car before moving lower? Image

Push the door seals back into place. They'll hold. The clips can be purchased off the shelf at pretty much any parts store, IIRC.

For the drain pipes, I'd guess that rubber hose could be substituted. I'm not sure, having never dealt with that issue before.
