Truck leaks like hell

[Kyles03]

I was going to suggest the drains, but it's been covered already

What Mr. Gray said, that cab light above the back window sometimes has a bad seal

Mine has done this with a heavy rain. What would fix this, new brake light or what?

I've heard that if the drains are clogged, you can usually hear a gurgling sound from the A-pillar, and I can't hear anything. I'm leaning towards it being the fucked up linkage deal on the sunroof. At work now but when i get a chance I'll snap some pics to show what I'm talking aboit

Here is one of the broken linkages. Both sides are like this. Just has a bunch of cracks

I'd bet money that's it. Especially with the amount of water you're talking about, it couldn't be the antenna or the 3rd brake light. Even at their worst you'd only get a little moisture near that area, you'd never get water leaking from the center of the headliner.

Now the question is (and maybe somebody has experience working on sunroof that can chime in, I hope) for you to fix and for me if I decide to get a sunroof truck, how hard is re-habing the sunroof?? I've talked to my dad about it if I buy a truck with one and he's never worked on one but he was thinking new seals and the cables shouldn't be too terrible. Have no idea and never even thought about those arms before

Yeah I think that the sunroof is where the leak is coming from, I just need to verify it. I know it's not the third brake light because of how I was parked. Water doesn't flow uphill so that rules that out. Here's how inwas parked when the fuckin flood in my trok happened last night



So I know that whatever is leaking is up from the doors at least

 

[Huck]

Yeah, it's the sunroof.....

just replace that linkage arm, its flexing and not pulling the sunroof down tight enough on the seals.

brake lights come with a seal attached, so a new one would be a good idea.

you can take it off, and put some tape over the holes behind it so only the wires can go through.

Hopefully tomorrow gonna pull the headliner out then take it thru a car wash and see exactly where that bitch is leaking from.
