I've had mine for 32000km, lots of automatic washes, 2 winters, and mine has never leaked once!

if you look carefully you'll see that there's an Orange 3 in the background with a sunroof

LOL. But, who cares!

 

[Airman Jack]

your wish is my command...
and on the "moonroof" thread, it didn't leak after this car wash

Long as you keep the drain clean you will not have leaks. T tops leak more than sun roof/moon roof. Nice pic especially girlie on the right.

I think my moonroof is gonna leak now.

Thanks for the enlargement!

(eek2) some things should just not be shared in public! (evil)

One piece of advice if you're getting a 3 (or any car) with a moonroof....unless you're coming RIGHT BACK to the car, always close your roof when you park and leave it. A friend of mine left her moonroof open for about 5 hours on a sunny, windy day and her tracks got blown full of sand and grit....now her moonroof makes grinding, gritty noises when she opens and closes it. The sand and stuff blowing around in the wind got stuck in the grease in her tracks, and Acura wants $300 + to disassemble and clean her moonroof. Cleaning the exposed tracks is easy enough to do yourself, but the dirt got all the way back inside her roof - into places you can't get to unless you take the headliner and other parts out. Not good..... As far as leaks go, a moonroof won't leak inside the car unless your drain holes inside the gutter are plugged up, which is rare. An aftermarket sunroof can leak, as they don't have a gutter system. If you like the open roof experience, fear not, as long as you take steps to prevent problems like I mentioned above.

I doubt the dealership would install a moonroof. They would probably farm it out to a local company who does install moonroofs.

They told me they could put one on. Even so, do you think it would have the ducts and everything in it, and if it would leak regardless just because it wasn't stock...

its not a big question, just I want some opinions... I suppose I could always stop being lazy and go ask the dealership...

thanks though

Havent had any issues with mine in 13k miles. No leaks no issues. I love it
