A thousand bucks? For real? Is it something I can fix myself that won't involve removing the dashboard? I have this issue on my passenger side.

Future, i believe i saw a video on youtube of a guy taking the cover off the pillar and accessing it like that. Then he just extended the drain tube

Sorry, I should have written that if you're going to have the dealer do it, delay your kid's braces.

When I went to test the sunroof by pouring water into each corner, it appeared the water drained on the floor below the car. I then took a hose and sprayed just my driver's side windshield down for a good bit and ended up with some water in my floorboard.

I think it could potentially be a loose tube or something, maybe some water is reaching the ground and some water is routing inside. Or it could be a windshield seal of the sorts - either way a thousand bucks is what I expected too. And I have a $1000 deductible on my insurance so I don't even know if that would've helped anyway.

Even if it comes in at $1300.... probably worth staying claim free imo

At least you tested. Your results point towards the windshield seal.

Couldn't pass up the gorgeous weather today to finally wash my car. Also cleaned up my father's headlights and installed LEDs so he can see again at night.

I'm thinking you're still grinning every time you look at those wheels.

You know, it's weird but I can't really see your brakes in most all of your photos. And not just these ones, too. You'd think with those thin spokes that you'd see the brakes. Heck, they're virtually identical to my CVTs.

How about that.

Its just the angle. The wheels I just put on have thin little spokes also and it really highlights the tiny brakes lol.

It's definitely the angle and lighting. You can see them pretty good up front in the first photo
