leaking sunroof



Pardon my late reply, just now reading email...

Don't forget to check the drain tubes at all four corners of the sunroof
well. They have plastic drain tubes attached to the metal pipes there. The
plastic tubing can be kinked (good for a cup of water down the passenger's
neck at the first stop), loose, ripped, whatever.
A good hardware store should have replacement stock.

Just my 2 teaspoons worth...

I had a similar problem with an 85 I used to own.  At first I thought it was
the sunroof but it turned out the previous owner had changed the fan moter
and destroyed all the gasketing around the fresh air intake and into the
floor.  A good storm would leave an inch of water on the floor of the car.
