Default Sun roof leaks

I have a sunroof in jeep cherokee it leaks when it rains heavy. I've removed it and caulked heavily arod the opening and reinstalled it and it still leaks and I can't see where it's leaking at.

All the aftermarket ones ended up leaking sooner rather than later. Best bet is to try and find someone still doing them and have them try and reseal it for you.

You shouldn't have sealed it, that's probably making things worse. Usually when sunroofs leak it's because the drains get clogged.

Pull your headliner and find the drain hose and try to unclog it or replace it.
