E36 coupe leaking

Recommended Posts

So the floors on my E36 coupe are wet, quite wet. The car has a sunroof is that the likely culprit?  What else do I need to check?

Make sure the side vent windows are closing tightly (they can be adjusted). 

Mine leaked and used to soak the seatbelt and carpet. 

Also clear sunroof drains. Not sure if the vapor barriers cause leaking in this model but that could be another cause.

Ok I think I found the problem or at least one of the problems. The cowling scuttle was full of decomposed leaves and dirt. Its a complete bitch of a job to fix as there is just no room to work.

+1 to that, same thing on alot of my BMW's leaves in trim etc always seem to cause leaks
