Hey just wondering if u guys have any problems with the sunroof leaking water in, during a minor storm. I cant actaully see where the leak is coming from, but can occusianaly feel the couple drops onto my face or hands. Also if i put my hands into the front crack on the sunroof, i feel a small puddle of water up their..

this normal?..


i tried taking it to the dealer b4, but they couldnt c a problem.

There should be no water leaking in. This is being casued by either the sunroof not closing properly (and hence the rubber seal not pressed in tight around the opening) or the rubber gasket around the perimeter of the glass is simply defective (cracked, deformed or not adhered properly).
Take it back to the dealer and make them fix it. You are still under warranty. BTW, you are the first person that has posted with this problem so it is not one of the typical defects the TL is known for having.

My sunroof squeaks at the front seal. but does not leak. It is going to the dealer to get it adjusted. I have had other honda/acura with sunroof noise and the dealer was able to correct with out any problem.

Yeah there is a service bulletin for that. They will put clear teflon tape around the sunroof opening. It keeps the rubber from squeaking and it does work 100%. Why Acura didnt just put the damn tape on the body of the car at the factory is beyond me. It takes about a minute to install, and would have prevented tens of thousands of customers to be inconvenienced having to go to the dealer to get it put on. The dealer by me regularly performs this repair for TLs literally every day. He's happy becuase he gets to bill out Acura for reimbursement as an in-warranty repair.
Acura/Honda is a brain dead company in the quality control area.
