Default Roof Leaking Over Rear Seats

I have a 2007 H3 with about 45,000 miles on it. I am in AZ so it doesn't often rain but it did yesterday. I left my H3 in the driveway and next thing I know I have small leaks on both sides of the interior roof that are dripping onto the rear seats.

It looks like a small bulge on both sides near the "oh ****" handles. I'm worried that the water will be trapped and mold will form.

Anyone experienced this problem or know of a fix?

Thanks in advance...

Do you have a sunroof? If not then you may have some stripped screws that attach your roof rails? I've seen that one before.

Do you have a roof rack or carried heavy loads on your standard cross bars?
There is a possibility the rivnuts holding on the roof rails have fatigued to cause splits in the roof, or worse.
Lift off the roof rails and plastic molding complete to have a look.
Has happened to a few H3s in Australia

Sorry, I didn't know you where such a HUMMER expert!

The drain tubes for the rear of the sunroof pan are next to the rear seats and the tubes start right about wher the Oh-sheet bars are. That's why I asked if you have a sunroof. But you know everything I guess.

Sorry, no more help here.

Hey powder puff, next time you are going to TRY to "burn" someone who was helping you. You may want to TRY to use the proper terminology when doing so. A dictionary might be your friend next time.

Passive/Agressive: not a single part of what I wrote was passive

My mistake Mark, thought it was pre-coffee grumpiness, not caffeine overload.

I didn't say you were being passive. I said you were passive aggressive. Big difference.

From the limited posts I've seen of yours, you fall right in this category.


Now, if you're not going to help or be constructive it'd be nice if you would kindly leave and let those other members that want to help do so.
