Do Subaru sunroofs leak?

Why is my Subaru leaking water on passenger side?
The evaporator core for your Subaru AC system is usually located in the dash on the passenger side, and it will sweat similarly to glass of ice water. There’s a drain hose that carries this moisture away, but it can get plugged up. The condensation must go somewhere, so it finds its way to the passenger floor.
How much does it cost to fix a sunroof leak?
If the leak is simply caused by the clogged drainage tubes, the repairs can be rather inexpensive — typically no more than a few hundred dollars. However, if the seal is broken, it will require removal of the sunroof and replacement of the seal — which usually costs more than $500.
Why is my car leaking water inside the driver side?
One of the most common causes of water dripping inside the car is because of a clogged drain. If the evaporator drain becomes restricted, the water backs up in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning) case. The case is designed to allow water to travel to the bottom and out the drain tube.
Why is my sunroof leaking?
While a faulty seal could be the reason for your leak, the most common cause of a leaky sunroof is a clog in the drainage system that carries water away. Locate your sunroof’s drains. To clean your drain, use compressed air or a cotton swab to dislodge any debris that could be clogging the tube.
Where do sunroof drains go?
The drain follows the pillar down into the passenger compartment on many vehicles and then further down to eventually exit out under the car just behind where the front tire wheel wells are. Some owners manuals show the location of the drains and encourage you to clean them out once in a while.
