Default roof leak

have a 2014 honda accord sport, with water stains on both sides of interior ceiling (between back window and back glass). the water stains were discovered in March 2018. my guess it has been leaking for some time, I just happened to discover it. car now out of warranty. we think it may be the roof moulding channels. any thoughts?

I was thinking the moon-roof drains when I read your post. You can try opening the moon roof and pouring water near the drains to see if one clogged up. Then use something like a pipe cleaner to open up a clogged drain.

Default roof leak

took the car to auto body shop. where they taped up the roof moulding channels, car still leaked. discovered it is the back glass leaking. anyone else have this problem? It's gotta be a manufacturer's defect.

I don't recall many posts on this site where the rear glass leaking on any year accord.

You will have to inspect that rubber seal around the window and the rubber adhesive they use to seal the glass to the metal window frame.

the back window has been taken out, resealed the two top corners where it leaked. leak is now repaired by local body shop. manufacturer's defect, no doubt.

Hey guys,

Don't want to start another thread so I'll post my issue here.

2012 Accord Coupe V6 with Sunroof - I have owned the car for 2 years. After the first year the front windshield was replaced. Everything was okay until recently when it rains, water collects right where the sunroof button is to open and close it. What I did:
- cleaned front drainers - before cleaning when you look under the car it was just dripping little by little. After cleaning - drains straight away
- took the roof interior down, cleaned the back drainers too - same result as the front ones

As of right now I am out of options because the 4 drainers are clean. I saw online that some people solved the problem after removing the external roof trim, cleaning, sealing back. Sadly it was done on a 2010 Civic not Accord but I assume it could be similar solution. I am planning to go to Honda and see what they will say.

Thanks in advance
