Default Leaking?

My moon roof glass is feaking so bad when it rains or i wash it. I still want to be able to use it but I dont want it to leak on me anymore and I am sick of being caught off guard by wet seats.

If I'm not mistaken there should be a drain up there somewhere. Not exactly sure but I think so. Make sure its not stopped up.

over time, the seal around these things go bad and leak. My dad had an old chrysler that had a moonroof and after a while it just started leaking. The result of old seals. They dry out and loose their flexability from all the exposer to sun and weather. You may need to take it to a glass shop that installs aftermarket moon roofs and see if they can reseal it.
