Rear sunroof drains

Hi CTS team! Just like everyone else my CTS leaks from the sunroof. Had a big puddle in the back right so I pulled the headliner and cleared all the tunes front to back, but I’m noticing that it’s beginning to leak where the drain plastic tube from the sunroof where it connects to the tube to the fender. (By the bolt in the sunroof)
I ran wire up there and even blew on it and it’s clear but still leaks from both sides at that same juncture.
I heard that there is some crap tape under the sunroof glass that comes loose and people rtv that space.

Anyone here have this issue???

Thanks!

I just had this exact issue on my 2011 CTS. My drain tubes were clear but water was coming in at the rear corners, dripping through the headliner. There is a piece of crap tape that is supposed to seal the side tracks to the rear drain catch basin. This tape fails over time. You will need to remove the rear glass panel to get at this and remove this tape and seal the joint between the where the aluminum track meets the plastic drain tube catch basin. Use some silicone caulk. Look at this thread for more details https://www.**********.com/threads/how-to-get-rid-of-the-dreaded-sunroof-leak-not-just-clearing-the-drains-and-crossing-your-fin.149906/ Somehow this site will not let me link properly the other site. But is is a site for C T S V Owners and that is what the site is called.

Yes I’m now having the same issue! I’m trying to figure out what to do about it.
