I just bought a 2004 Acura TL 6spd, with 150k miles. Now I know that's a lot but I spent the better of two days driving it around, highway/city, and took it to two different mechanics, where both of them said it checked out.

Unfortunately it started to rain the day after I bought it (Being Florida an all) and now water is leaking into the cabin. It's coming from the HomeLink or Cabin Light control console, right behind the rear view mirror. It comes in enough to puddle in the leather wrap of the shifter. And I feel if it rains long and hard enough it will fill the 6speed shifter wrap, and spill over into the trim and floor.

I believe it's coming from the Sunroof, but I thought the Sunroof drainage hose came backwards, into the trunk. Or maybe it might be coming from the sealant around the Windshield.

Has anyone had these problems? If so can you help, I hate to say it but I'm starting to get buyers remorse.

Here's where it's dripping from. Where the Black trim meets the Tan trim.



Here's where it pools. I dried it up before I took the picture.

 

I believe there are 4 drainage tubes for the sunroof.

 

Well after testing it with a hose, I have found it to be the Sunroof.

What I have done to fix it Temporarily is to line the Sunroof with black electrical tape. It seemed to have at least lessened the amount of water to get in.

Think I might just take it to the Acura dealer and see if they can do anything. I have half a mind to go back the Volkswagen dealer I bought it from and ask they fix it.

 

I would go straight back to the dealership and tell them about the issue and ask them to fix it. Im assuming you just bought the car?

 

Here is some good info, if you would like to attempt it yourself.
