Well my beloved SC has been sitting in the driveway for a over a year now, and I went into the car today to get something and I noticed beads of water all over the windshield, mold in the interior and a puddle in the passenger floor. The car has been covered all this time, it does blow off time to time. My question is how can I find out where the leak is from? Sunroof, winshield, doors.....??? Since there is such extensive damage inside, I cant find where the origin of the leak is.

most likely your sunroof drainage lines. Easy way to clean is to run thin weedeater line thru your water drain tube.

is the draining tube easily attainable from the outside? or do i have to open it, tilt it, or slide it?

Do you have pictures on the damage?

i thought my draintubes were clogged.. turns out i had rustout all along the top of the windshield.



as for getting to the drain tube. take off the passanger handle on the a pillar, then pop the sucker out, your prolly going to break a clip or two so dont worry. then from there pop the 2 black clips that hold the roof carpet on, then you can see a pretty large diameter plastic hose clamped on 2 ends. what you can do is open the sunroof, put a straw in the hole, get a air gun and blow air into it. then put water down it. see if it drains... if it drains fine and no leaks then you might have rust along the top of your windshield, or you have bad weather stripping around the windshield --- i had/have both. my temp fix is aluminum outdoor watertight sealant.

you would need to open your sunroof, your drainage line runs along the side of the sunroof opening, just like any other sunroof.

check door panels for moisture and plastic lining behind door panels and make sure there is a proper seal.
