Raining all day and.... my car is all wet inside!

Hi guys

It is raining since yesterday night. This morning I got into my car and saw my rear passenger seat was all wet. I look up and the headliner is dripping water down. I'm like wtf.

I drove to the dealer imediately and they said they will need at least few days to troubleshoot and fix the problem. Now I'm stuck with a rental car.

I have no idea how the water could get into the car. My sunroof is closed and I don't see any problem when I wash my car. Oh man...

I'm wondering if it was coming from the shark fin.

I'm can't be sure. The area surrounds the reading light is all wet. Nothing below the shark fin area though.

Hope your car doesnt end up smelling like mold.

Edit: Be sure not to sign any papers from the dealer indicating the problem has been resolved to your satisfaction until you have an opportunity (at least a couple of weeks) to figure out if there is a smell or not.

My dealer called me saying that they need to replace the sunroof. WTF? I really can't accept this. I'm very disappointed. Nobody believes this when I told my friends.
