Customer Concern
The customer complains of water leaking into the interior of the vehicle.
Technical Background
The components installed in the vehicle for the panoramic roof work together to manage water intrusion as a system. 		
There are three primary components working together.
		
1. The outer seal – seals the body to the glass to stop water from coming in. This is the first line of defense.
		
2. The frame of the panoramic roof - water channels are built into the frame, any water making it past the first
line of defense is handled by this second line of defense.
		
3. The front and rear drains - receive water from the frame and provide a path for water to exit the vehicle at the
wheel wells.
Service Information
	If enough water has made it into the vehicle to be noticed by the customer and cause damage, the first line of defense has
definitely been breached.
• The external seal(s) fit and condition should be carefully inspected and adjusted, or replaced as necessary.
• Make sure the frame is centered in the body opening to get the best sealing performance.
• Adjust glass panels to their proper position.
• Make sure drains are free from clogs/leaks/kinks and properly connected to the frame.

Investigation Results
A recent investigation found that the frame is not leaking at the corners due to a sealing issue.
Water was found to be leaking at the corners as a result of more water accumulating in the frame than it was designed to handle.
Water was overflowing the areas designed to channel the water to the drains.
A combination of factors was causing the accumulation1.
Too much water leaking past the outer seal (poorly adjusted frames contributed to this).
2.
Drains not clogged or not clear enough.
Conclusion
Only change the roof frame if a leak still exists after performing the following work –
1. The roof frame has been properly centered in the roof opening
2. The glass panels are properly adjusted.
3. The outer seal has been replaced
4. The drains have been unclogged
Warranty
This bulletin is informational regarding the water management of the roof system. It is not for a specific repair procedure.
Additional Information
	Please include photos of the actual failure of the component in the PQIS job. There are lots of photos of water damage and
not many photos of the cause of the damage. The cause is the most important piece of information.
