1997 Saturn SC2 Trunk Leak

Answer 1

The drain tubes for the sunroof, if your car's equipped with a sunroof, can work loose from the drainage tray in the sunroof frame. If the tube comes off, the water will either drip onto the headliner, or it can actually cling to the hose and run down the outside of it and into the trunk, as was the case with mine. The rear drainage lines run into the trunk area and exit through the body side (quarter panel). The tube can also come out of the hole in the body and pour the water into the trunk. If your trunk seal is in good condition, start with looking at the exits of the drain tubes. if they are installed correctly, then drop the headliner and make sure they are still attached to the sunroof. Also, it is a good idea to blow the lines out with air and clean out the tube mounts (where the water leaves the tray) with wire while you are in there. You can also pour some water into the tray and also through the tubes to make sure they are draining properly. If they are, reinstall them to the sunroof, and add either a tie strap or pipe clamp the the end to make sure it never comes off again.
