I have a 2002 Elantra GT that leaks when it rains. There is a very small amount of water that drips out of gaps at the rear of the headliner, where there are three plastic panels.

I can't figure out if the door is leaking or if it's the sunroof.

Any ideas?

 

I have a 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT and whenever it rains, the rear of the headliner leaks... just small drips, but a leak nonetheless.

I thought it was coming from a bad gasket around the rear door, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The drips come from gaps in the plastic panels that cover the rear edge of the headliner.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated before I go tearing apart the headliner to find a leak.

 

Start the car... turn the HVAC fan on high with air door set for outside air...

Roll up windows, and close the doors.

Get a spray bottle and fill it with water and liquid soap.

Spray around the window and roof molding.. watch for bubbles.. that will get you in area to look deeper.
