My factory sunroof started leaking last winter, it didn't happen EVERY time it rained, just sometimes. So, I had a garage at my apartment and put it there if I saw rain . . . no big deal.

One night a huge rain storm came in and filled my car with several inches of water. UGH!!!!

I moved to a new city (not because of the car!) and I don't have a garage. So, we covered it up with a tarp when we knew it was going to rain. This is a huge pain in the ass!

Every time a freak storm comes around, you can see us out there covering up the car, but it has water damage in the roof liner, separating and sagging, and the seats have permanent water stains. If you push on the back long side of the sunroof, you can feel it give way, so I think that is where the water is coming in, but the stains in the roof liner are not in the that area, so I could be wrong.
