This past week it was raining like a lot and as i was driving my son mentioned to me that he saw a water drop coming from the corner of the sunroof and i checked to make sure the roof was closed and it was fully closed. What caused this leak this is the first time my son said it has ever happen.
View 4 RepliesSo I noticed I had some wind noise on the highway coming from my sunroof. It was actual wind coming through the dry rotted seals around the glass. Well I got really lucky and a truck kicked something up on the highway and it went right through the glass. Called the insurance company and since glass is covered free in Ma, they shipped an OEM sunroof to the local shop. Got it put in this morning, and it is all quiet again.
View 4 RepliesThis problem is recent and only happens when it rains. When braking to a stop, I get a thunk or two. I only having hearing in one ear, so where the sound might be coming from. I ruled out loose things knocking around. The last time I was driving in the ran, I got the thunking only the first one or two times I braked, and then nothing. Other times I have gotten it repeatedly in a single drive. I have never gotten it while braking except when coming to a stop. I don't get it when merely slowing down in traffic or the freeway. I back into my driveway and I am wondering if braking in reverse has any bearing on this problem.
I searched here and on the internet. The problem exists out there as I have described it, but no posts that I can find have identified the problem. The truck has disc fronts and drum rears. I took the front tire off on the drivers side when I re-seated the front wheel bearings. I was going to repack them, but didn't feel like pulling the caliper, so I just re-seated them. I repacked them not that long ago and didn't feel it was worth the trouble at the time. I didn't bother to pull the tire on the passengers side. While I was at it, I greased all the ball joints.
I can't recall exactly when I first started hearing the clunking, if it was before or after the whole U-joint/carrier bearing campaign, but I became acutely aware of it afterwards, perhaps because that's when we got a lot of rain. There is absolutely no driveability issues at all, just the clunk when braking to a stop in the rain.
I used VAGCOM to turn on the automatically close windows/ sunroof when rain is sensed...I also checked the box under MFI/ Convenience but cannot get the windows/sunroof to close with rain. How to get this to work?
View 22 RepliesI have the windows/sunroof close via rain sensor enabled through vagcom. I go to the MFD but every time I select it on, it'll reset and turn off when I turn the car off and on. Why? Can't get it to stay on.
Also, to not start a new thread. What the Manual Door Lock option in the MFD does? It gives you the option of all doors or individual. I looked in the manual but still don't understand what it does.
My 2010 'reg started getting water soaking into the headliner after several hours of heavy rain today. I did a little searching and found the following TSB: [URL] .... . I'm not sure if it would apply to mine since it states its for 2004-2006.
View 4 RepliesA couple weeks ago I went home sick from work, doped up on medication. We ran through the drive through for dinner, and it was really cold out. Woke up in the morning to find ALL my windows down and the sunroof open.......and it snowed about 1/4 inch. My wife went with me and she was sober, and swears that all the windows were up when we went in the house. Now, I am at work and had a customer come in and tell me that my windows were down, and the sunroof was open half way. This time I KNOW FOR A FACT that they were up and the sunroof was closed when I parked it.
View 4 RepliesDrove my 2010 E350 for dinner under heavy rain fall on Friday, today found out area under carpet on the passenger side (only) are all soaking wet, do not know where the water coming from, what is the cause of the leaking and how to stop it happens again ?
View 7 RepliesI noticed that the back of my sunroof is not perfectly aligned with the roof line. When i push on it from the inside it goes up and aligns properly so i was wondering if there is an "easy" way to adjust it so that it stays flushed permanently .
View 7 RepliesI just got myself a UL 2007 Lexus ES 350 last month.
So here are my constraints:
1. My Emergency Flashers are not working, however the pointers work. (I have checked the fuses and they are fine)
2. My voice recognition seems not to like my accent, when I say "setup" it plays satellite radio (is there a way to play around with the setting for voice recognition ?)
3. When I am on rough roads, I get a lot of feedback on the steering wheel, what should I be worried about here?
4. My Wipers are supposed to be rain sensitive but they don't seem to work. Is there a setting I am missing?
5. My Steering Wheel doesn't go up and down, it only goes front and back. Rather than go up and down, it jerks slightly to the left or right, depending on where. What could be wrong?
I was talking to a coworker of mine this morning about the unseasonably cold weather we have been having in Atlanta the last few days, and she said that she left her sunroof open during a storm that we had the other day and now her heated seats aren't working. She has an XLE with leather heated seats. Blew a fuse perhaps? Or possibly destroyed the heating mechanism? Or maybe just the switch itself? Both seats are not working. The clock, radio, nav, etc are all working so its not the fuse. Also, the lights on the switches themselves are working so they seem to be ok.
View 4 RepliesWhen I open the inner shade to my sunroof I get a wind noise? Is there a way to eliminate the wind noise other than keeping the inner shade closed.
View 8 RepliesI added a sunroof to the removable hardtop on my 87 Cadillac Allante and love the extra ventilation when I have the top on the car. I was just wondering if it is possible to do the same thing to the retractable hardtop on my 07 SC430.
View 7 RepliesI'm the proud owner of a 08 ES350 with 104,000KM on the clock. I am looking for info on how to remove the sunroof/ dome light panel, I removed the two screws in the sun glasses holder so the front is released but the back seems solid. I removed the bezel around the garage door opener buttons, hoping to find more screws but no. Is it held by clips or is there something I'm missing?
View 3 Replies'07 ES350 sunroof makes a thud when initially opening... Sounds like its actually dropping down fast and hitting bottom. Occurred once prior and dealer said they cleaned the track. How do I clean the track?
View 6 RepliesIn my 07 ES350 I had water on the carpet of the drives side all the way to the backseat! I was gone for a coupla days when this happened and with the heat it sure did have a musky odor when I opened the door!
I have looked all around the sunroof and cleaned the edges could not see anything that would leak although under the sunroof at the front there was water in the tray.
Then I looked all around the windshield. Could not see anything that could cause a leak. Lightly hosed off the car today and had water dripping down the driver side pillar and the covering for the pillar was wet.
This car has never had a leak anywhere until now. Gonna have to have the carpet removed and steam cleaned I guess to get rid of the odor, but not until I stop the leak!!!!
My IS has the feature where I can open all of the windows and the sunroof by holding the remote unlock button which has come in real handy during this extended heat wave in the Midwest. But, I can't find out whether or not this feature is on my 2012 LS 460.
View 6 RepliesApparently, VW assumes that if you have a sunroof, you must be willing to tolerate rainwater dripping on your front seats and running inside the headliner. I can accept almost anything, but this is beyond belief.
I have seen a mention or two of water on the floor (and I didn't even check for that), maybe a leaking sunroof before, but I never thought it would happen to me.
First real cold day here in Connecticut and I noticed a rattle which seems to come from sunroof area.( when I push up agains sunroof, it seems to lessen or go away. I had my radio off and it was very annoying
View 3 RepliesIt's been pretty nice out lately and I have been using the sunroof regularly. Most of my driving is around town and not at high speeds and I haven't had any issues. Yesterday, I decided to stretch the legs of the car and take it out on the highway.
Everything was going fine until I heard a loud vibration coming from above my head. I looked up and saw the back edge of the sunroof opening (sunroof is open) vibrating up and down pretty violently. I quickly slowed down and it stopped after about 30-45 seconds. Then on the way home on the highway the car did the same thing 3 more times.
It's the headliner along the back of the sunroof opening that's vibrating up and down. I had the roof open to the normal position, not all the way back, just to the last mark on the turn nob. This all happened at about 75-80 mph, nothing crazy for the highway.
Why the outside air is coming in even though circular is on?
