Leaking sunroof

So my sun/moonroof has been leaking for a while now. I pulled the A Pillar trim back, and noticed the drain has was not connected to anything. Kentucky bubba managed to attach the passenger side just fine. Im having a little trouble seeing where exactly the hose is supposed to attach. I can see that the hose goes into the white honeycomb thing on the passenger side. Looks like I may have to pull the whole roof liner to get it reattached. The car is out of warranty and I doubt my local dealer would do the right thing and fix it. Im surprise they can change oil properly. Any help would be great.

It would be a safe assumption that I did not do a search , but not a correct one. Thanks for the info anyway.

Here's a better solution than a referal to a TSB that you can't read unless you pay for it. Or a service manual you don't have.

Loosen A Pillar garnish, remove visor, remove handle on head liner, pull back head liner. Leaking corner only. Re-attach white rubber hose to male hose barb (also white). Add retaining clip if you like. Re-assemble in reverse order. Test sunroof drain, by pooring water into track at affected corner. Water should drain from behind tire.

Who said you had to pay for TSBs? All you have to do is take that TSB number to the dealer and tell them the situation. They look at the TSB # on their computer.

As for service manual? Yea, you dont have it unless you pay for it. But www.camrystuff.com has it free and its all in PDFs.

Before you throw a hissy fit and start jumping down peoples throat, maybe you should learn to read first.

If you can see...I never linked you to tundra. It was njerald. Secondly, even if the tundra link didnt lead to anywhere, all you had to do was take the TSB # to the dealer. He was even nice to include what was in that TSB such as how long the repair takes, what is covered and how long the warranty is.

There were other TSB's on this forum that were PDFs.

Sorry I did anything to help this clown.

JonesZ is the typical noob whiner.

She is all over the place with worthless allegations.

I gave no link to Tundra directly other than my old, old TSB announcement was taken from their site.

She goes on my No Help list.

You exemplify the problem with most forums. A noob as you say, shows up and asks a question thats been ask several times before and you chastise them for asking it. You made FALSE assumptions and then can't handle it when someone calls you on it. Looks like your in good company though, you've got plenty of back up. Thanks for the personal insults. Like most pricks you're fairly tough sitting behind a keyboard.

I'm not fond of njerald's replies as well as he's done the same thing to me but there are times where he's helped...which he did for you.

Granted, it might or might not have been related to your situation but he's only human. He gave you information based on what you provided, that he thought would solve your situation. If it didnt, he tried.

He could of been a dick and said "here we go again......."

Personally, I wouldnt go to dealer first. I rather search the forums and ask even if it involves putting up with njerald remarks or fix it yourself...like what you did. Depending on your dealer, they'll just turn you away or give you the run-around.

First time in my whole TN career i have to agree with these two right here! Go to the dealer and ask for the TSB to be done. And be thankful for the information these members gave you.
