PLEASE - CAN ANYONE HELP WITH MY WATER LEAK - FRONT AND REAR FLOORBOARDS FILL UP - HAD TO REMOVE "JUTE" - NOT TOTALLY SURE BUT I BELIEVE MY REAR DRAINS MAY BE STOPPED UP. IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM, I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM - I CAN'T FIND THE REAR DRAINS! THIS IS A FACTORY SUN ROOF - I HAVE LOOKED AT OTHERS, TAKEN TO DEALERSHIPS AND GLASS SHOPS, AND I HAVE A 88 FE3 WITH SUNROOF (NOT FACTORY BUT DRAINS GO RIGHT THROUGH TRUNK AND EXIT BELOW BUMPER). I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS BUT THE DEALERS AND SHOPS SCRATCH THEIR HEADS AND SAY THEY WOULD HAVE TO DROP THE HEADLINER TO FIND THE DRAINS-EXPENSIVE. GREED MAYBE? AT<BR>ANY RATE CAN ANYONE STEER ME TO THE DRAINS PLEASE?????? THX,<BR>NIC IN RICHMOND

Maybe down through the windshield post? Most likely would have to remove headliner.

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY 86 2DR #2536. MY PROBLEM AREA IS NOT IN THE FRONT DRAINS-I HAVE FOUND THOSE 2 AND CLEARED THEM WITH AIR.<P>THERE ARE 4 DRAINS 2 FRONT / 2 REAR. THE 2 REAR DRAINS ARE NOT ACCESSABLE OR VIEWABLE FROM THE TOP AS WHEN THE SUNROOF IN OPENED TO GAIN ACCESS THE ROOF COVERS THEM, THEREFORE I NEED DESPERATELY TO KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE THEY EXIT AT BELOW SO I CAN CLEAR WITH AIR GOING "UPWARDS". AGAIN, THIS IS A FACTORY ROOF, NOT AFTERMARKET. I<BR>HAVE AN AFTERMARKET ON A FE3 CUTLASS SUPREME<BR>SL AND THE REAR TUBES ARE VERY EASY TO FIND AS THEY WILL BITE YOU AS THEY TRAVEL RIGHT THROUGH THE TRUNK UNDER THE CARPET TO THE CHASSIS BELOW NEAR THE BUMPER BAR. THE REAR FACTORY ROOF DRAINS SO FAR ARE ELUSIVE-STILL NEED HELP!

My sons Grand Am started leaking real bad once and I was really stumped for a while.<BR>Then I found a piece of balled up paper towel under the fold of the seal. This was hard to find but aprrantly I would not let the seal compress evenly and it leaked bad.
