I think I need a timeout or maybe a beer>>>>

It's not always good with all options.

My wife's VW Golf have a leaking panoramic roof so I know what I do this weekend.

Know that feeling. My wife has a 2015 Suburban LTZ it took the dealer (and GM engineer) 4 tries to get a leak fixed.
1. Replaced satellite radio antenna on the roof.

2. Replaced a sunroof seal.

3. Replaced a door seal.

4. Removed and reinstalled windshield. Apparently the frame to which the windshield seats is bent. They had to apply a sealer, allow it to fully cure and then apply an additional sealer that they normally use to seat the windshield glass.

Frustrating to say the least. Especially on a vehicle of this price.

In my case it's the drainage that is clogged and the rainwater will flows down at the c-post. But it's a lot of work to clean it up.

As John Fogerty says: Have you ever seen the rain?

Wow, this must be the case with other vehicles, because before I even saw this comment I was going to suggest it. I've had to vehicles now that have s sunroof, and thankfully no leaks! We had a GMC Acadia before and I heard a lot of stories about the drainage issue.

That's a job and a half!

I've had leaks with both cars and house in the past. The worst part is not really knowing if it's completely fixed until the next downpour. i ended up selling anything that leaked. Good luck with yours :)
