Water leak considered warranty repair or not?

My son's 2019 Fit EX has developed the leak appears to be coming from drivers side sunroof drain. Took it to the dealer and they are claiming it isn't covered under warranty because debris has built up and the labor isn't covered (as it's not a failure of equipment). He does park outside, but shouldn't this still be covered? Any thoughts?

Thanks

I'd agree with the dealer on this.

Yup! Dealer is correct. The sunroof on my 1980 Prelude was leak free well into the '90's when I sold it. All that is required is keeping the drains clear. That is user maintenance.

Clearly not a warranty issue. That is called user upkeep and is only on the vehicle owner.

I actually logged on today for the first time in quite a while because I had a small leak from my sunroof yesterday for the first time. There was a quarter-sized drop/puddle this morning after a heavy dew. So just opening the sunroof fully in inspect and clear the channels is best, or is there another secret to it? Thanks!!

Clean the channels and then look for a drain hole. If it's clogged, and not just blocked, you may need compressed air to blow it out.
