Wet STS

Does anyone know the reason my '93 sts is leaking at the back of the sunroof and coming out under the rear seat on the drivers side? How do I fix this???

Drain tube routed wrong or disconnected.

The sunroof has a trough or gutter around it to prevent it from leaking on your head. There is a drain in each corner that runs down the respective pillar. The rears run down through the trunk in the corners I would guess and dump water under the car. Park the car so it favors the passenger side or jack it up and have someone pour water in the trough while you watch the underside. You should see the water leak out. Then remove the rear seat and do the same on the drivers side. You should then see where the water is coming from. Maybe the drain tube has pulled loose or is broken.

I've had similar problems with darn near every sunroof I've ever owned. Almost every time I've had leaking, it was due to the drains being clogged. My fix involves a blast from the nozzle on my garden hose- but sometimes all it takes is clearing dried leaves and gook from the openings Ranger pointed out in the corners of the sunroof.
