also, make sure your roof is completely dry before opening the sun roof. The other day: my entire H3 appeared dry but apparently there was water pooling on the roof. I had the sun roof opened, and when I came to a stop, SPLASH, I had a small waterfall come down on my head.
But no, still no leaking issues(referring to my post in here months ago)

Roof Window Leak- I was able to unclog the front drains with canned air, but the service manual says to remove the headliner to do the rears!! I figured I would try to locate where the rears drain, to no avail, figuring I could run trimmer cord up from the bottom outside the car and unclog it. Does anyone know where the rear drains drip out? Does anyone know who I could call or ask??? Thanks in advance!!!!

weep holes
I have had repeated problems with our 2006 sunroof leaking (pouring) into the passenger and driver sides. The weep holes clog up and we can't seem to get anyone who can dependably clean them out. GM replaced the entire seal set up at my complaint and it still leaks. It will drip from either inside corner of the roof into your lap and also will steadly drip from the roof mounted microphone above driver's head. We need to know a dependable way to keep them cleaned out. hot water is not the answer. Somebody tell me some strong chemical I can pour into weep holes every few months to dissolve whatever it is clogging them.

You can only get to the front ones easily, the rear ones require removing the headliner. The holes are located in the front left and right corners of the tray that runs around the window. With the window open, if there is a pool of water there, they are clogged.

Charks1, It took four years and a month for mine to leak, if I had know about the drains, I would have flushed them out occasionally!!! Good luck!!

2008 H3 leaking ... seals on the front corners ( drivers and passenger side ) not sealing well. Water Drains plugged .. had to use a long grass trimmer plastic line to clean the drains by sticking the line gently down the drain holes

I really need to hear from those with the sunroof!!
This is a big issue for me. How many of you with the sunroof do NOT
have problems with leaking?
I know most people post because they have issues and it is good to be aware of possible problems.
Plus, how does the glass top wear with time? My old car has a hard top so this moonroof as some call it is new to me. Does it get scratched easily?

and then again what can you expect from an American made car.
