Hi All,
I have never had a car with a moon roof/sun roof. I may have a lead on a used 2004 CRV with one. Do the moon roofs on the 2004 CRV leak? Seems to me, that after a few years and a bit of sun light, that the seals would go bad and the tubes would get clogged and start leaking. How may years do I have to go before I will start having problems? Many thanks, -T |

We still have (in the family) a '96 Odyssey, a '91 240sx, a '96 i30, a '97 i30, an '02 Pathfinder and an '06 CR-V, all with sunroofs/moonroofs. None of them leak. The seals are irrelevant and unless you park under a tree in the fall with the roof open, clogging is not going to be an issue. |

Just out curiosity, do you drive with them open very much? How would you rate the sun roof vs just opening a window? -T |

How may years do I > have to go before I will start having problems? Our 2005 CR-V's moon roof doesn't have this problem, nor did the moon roof on our 1988 Accord LXi, which the 2005 CR-V replaced. |

Ironically a '86 BMW 325 I had did have a leaking moonroof - overpriced piece of shit it was. |

Seems to work really well that way to draw out the hot air air trapped at the top. |
