Vista Roof Leak or Antenna

Recommended Posts

My wife and I purchased a 2008 Ford Edge a couple months ago. we normally keep it in the garage. We took it for a nice long drive this weekend. We took it to Silverwood in Idaho.

 

It rained at night one of the nights. And discovered it has a leak. We're not sure if it's the Vista Sun Roof or possibly around the antenna??? The water is coming from where the front dome lights are located. When we went around a corner, the water came out from that area. This is concerning me due to the fact that the dome light area is holding the water. Which means it's sitting in there and I'm hoping it's not going to short something out.

 

Anyone have a problem with there roof leaking.

 

Our is still under warrenty, but this kind of irks me that this brand new car has this kind of problem. And I don't want it to become a bigger problem.

 

Thanks for the input.

I'm sure that fix will be covered under the warranty.

 

My Edge doesn't have a sun roof but I have had other cars that did have them. On car in particular had a similar problem: If I parked the car on a hill with the rear-end sloping 'down' and it happened to rain, the area around the sun roof would fill with water. My first stop at a light or stop sign would be heralded with what sounded like a tidal wave. Next would come the water itself - it was always exciting! (Especially if I had a date with me.) The problem was blocked up drains which were located under the car. I blew a couple of bursts of compressed air into the drains and forced the 'crap' out of them - problem solved.

 

Again, I'm sure that the dealer can fix the problem easily!
