how do ya get drain holes on a sunroof, I would of thought that would make it drain into the truck. :roll: :roll:

wouldn't most sunroofs be flat so the water just washes off the roof as if there was no sunroof there at all. :wink: :wink:

is yours leaking or is the water just ponding :?: :?:

if its just ponding, then ya just have to drive faster :lol: 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

LOL. It seems that water is in the roof splashing around in a layer between the roof and inside. I can hear it when im driving going side to side. Someone once told me that there is drain holes that go down the pillars but i cant find them.

PS Ill try driving really really fast tonight :twisted:

you could take it West Coast Customs and they could turn your roof into a fish tank for you :roll: :roll:

complete with neons and a doof doof system and maybe a coffee maker and a water purifier :roll: :roll: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:


p.s. good luck removing the swimming pool from your roof

There will be a couple of drains in the front left and right corners of the s/roof. with the roof open or the glass out you should be able to see them easily. You can blast them with some compressed air and/or poke some wire down to unblock them. There may also be drains in the rear as well.
