Sunroof - Vista Vent Water Leak

Bulletin: 85-10-28

Date: Sept 1985

Ref. No.: 85-296-10
SUBJECT: VISTA VENT SUNROOF WATER LEAK

MODELS AFFECTED: 1985 SOMERSET

Sunroof Assembly:




Vista Vent water leaks on 1985 Somerset models may be the result of an inadequate seal between the sunroof glass panel and roof weatherstrip. With the sunroof closed and latched, the entire outer vertical edge of the glass panel should seal to the upper outer lip of the weatherstrip as shown Figure A.

A poor seal condition may be caused by a bent glass panel hinge. See Figure B.

An additional check should also be made to ensure that the weatherstrip is properly positioned and sealed in the channel.
