Problems with Water Infiltration from the Sunroof

Model: (Various brands) Various

If you have encountered problems with water infiltration from the sunroof, there could be two causes: firstly, water, even in small quantities, can penetrate under the sunroof, but there is a containment profile all around that prevents water from entering the cabin.
