2000 Civic w/Leaky Moonroof
 
Hi All,

I have a 2000 Civic Ex 2dr with a moonroof. A couple of summers ago, I
purchsed the Honda Wind guard to make it a tad more pleasant to drive
with the moonroof open. It works fine and connects with two small
hooks.

The problem is that when on, the moonroof leaks. Without it, the seal
is tight and the car is dry. *Sigh*.

Anyone have any tips on how I can keep the windguard on AND keep the
water out???? It seems like a design flaw but it might be a "user"
flaw, altghough the connection is pretty straightforward and I can't
imagine how I could screw this one up (although I probably could).

Anyone interested in buying a slightly used wind guard?? :-)

Thanks for any help.

Your drains should take care of such a small amount of leakage. They
must be blocked. Have you ever cleaned them? Try google.com to find out how.

Could it be that the "two small hooks" are hooked into the drains or are
otherwise blocking the drains? I've had two Civics with sunroofs. I only
had leakage when I was within a mile or less of a tornado.
