reseal it, thats the problem w/ rexs both the hatch and the sunroof leak after time.
Plus the hatch does not stay up.
plus it rust.
plus...thats all i can think of.
you can buy a new rubber peice, or just get a new sun roof for under that 200 you want to spend

 

Duct Tape

 

thanks does anyone else have some input?...how much does it cost to reseal it?

No joke my Bro used duct tape and cut up plastic bags once. It will get you though until you can pay for hew seals

 

yeah my sunroof was all rusted out and wouldn't work so i sust took it off and then hold it of with duct tape.
took it to the car wash and everything and it didn't leak at all

 

1. Remove sunroof
2. Replace with fiberglass panel
3. Paint

 

i was gonna ask about that too if i put in a fiberglass pannel does it look like ****? ive heard of people doing it but ive never seen it does anyone got any pictures of thier sunroof removed? how much will it cost for sealent and how much will it cost for a fiberglass pannel?

 

new seals, and take a air hose, and blow out the drain tubes

yeah, this is the first guy so far to mention the drain tubes, they're a pretty common problem too.

 

what happens with the drain tubes? and what are they what do i look for? whats the best way to fix them if they are broke?

 

why not just do this
1. get a phone book
2. call honda
3. get price

the drain plugs justgetplugged up with all kinds of dirt and stuff so that water can no longer flow down them, and if the water cant go down there, it has to go somewhere - in the car

$65 to clear out the drain tubes at my dealer.

 

i havent done this because i have a dx, but if you had to reseal, could you just use silicon temporarily until you get new seals?

but first solution would be to remove panel, blow out the drain tubes as allerady mentioned.

then maybe silicon it back up, or duct tape it back.

 

Im am facing the same problem right now. The things the Helms says to check for water leaks:

1. Clogged drain tube
2. Gap between glass weatherstrip and roof panel
3.Defective or improperly installed glass weatherstrip

 

ok just so everyone knows i havent fixed the problem yet but i figured out what to do....me and a good friend of mine looked and found the drain tubes...they are towards the front of the car and they are just little holes...on the passenger side we took a cup of water and poured it into the sunroof resevoir thing and the water poured out of the drain tube and down out by my front passenger side tire...so it was clean as a whistle...then we went to the drivers side and poured water in the resevoir and nothing happened for a sec it just filled to the top of the resevoir and started to drip inside the car...so it was the drivers side tube that is clogged...my friend has an extremely high powered air compressor and tommorrow afternoon iam gonna get some drano and shoot it in the hole and take the compressor and blast all the dirt out if possible..if not then im to the dealer ship......................i have a quick question to anyone out there though-are there only 2 drain tubes because thats all i found is there 4 or 2?????please answer me someobody-thanks

There are 4. Two in front, two in the rear. I'm not sure where the rear ones come out on a hatch. On 2 and 4 doors they are in the trunk behind the wheel wells.
