Hello all!
This is my first post although Ive been reading / researching a lot of the previous posts. In particular about what seems to be a pretty common problem with the explorers...the leaking sunroofs. I just purchased my 3rd explorer, a 1998 eddie bauer, and am going through and getting everything up to grade. One of those things is the leaking sunroof. There isnt any water coming through the lights or upper console area at all, just through where the sunroof shade is. I checked the drain tubes and they appear to be clear. Is it a common problem for water to leak through the seal where the glass seats into the metal rim? I thought about scrapping out the hard caulk/seal and re sealing it with silicone but didnt want to cause more problems if thats not really where the problem is. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
