LEAK FROM ROOF

[Mazdamoo]

Can anyone give me a clue about PACKING the roof??? It leaks at the top of the window but only on the passenger side. Someone on here said it needs to be packed?

Don't know about packing, but isn't the latch adjustable?

Can you see "cracks" in the edge of the roof that runs along the top of the window?

If so a temporary repair can be to put some tape along the edge to cover them up. But it's basically the beginning of the end.

How old is the roof? If the seals are collecting water that usually means either there are cracks in the edge above the windows or it has shrunk and is no longer keeping water from getting to the seals.

This thread really does need some pics

Blocked drain holes?

Give the seals a good clean? Is it coming from where the roof joins the windscreen or where the door/roof/windscreen come together? Mine did this and i gave all the seals a good clean and it's been fine since. I have also used the Autoglym roof cleaner and protector and i think that keeps the roof in good nick and improves the waterproofing. £20 though. Ouch.
