so after owning the ss/sc for a month and half i get this prob, now i did NOT leave my sunroof open because i new for a fact it was raining today and i even double checked, i parked my car in the morning 7am and i came back to it 6pm (after rain) sit in the car and notice my lil botton and everything around it was soaked wet (note that i did not even open my sunroof or anything i just looked up and it was soaked) so WTF!!! does gm not test these cars that if there air tight or water proof

 

Warranty it hell its not your fault

 

Take it in!

 

and i just tested it wit just puttin water over my roof to check and inside my car the riders side window fogs up and my passenger doesnt and it got a lil bit more wet AND to top it off my dam sunroof switch fell off GRRRRR

and the dam dealer is closed on sundays!!

ps this never happened while washing the car

 

There's a hot-to on keeping it there (sunroof switch) without takingit to the dealer

 

I've seen this happen a few times. What year is your car?

The only way i know how to possibly avoid this, is by making sure my sunroof seal is always clean and moisterized (mothers interior protectant!) And wiping out the sunroof seal area after a wash. I've had my 07 w/sunroof for a year now, and have pressure washed it numerous times, even in the winter, and haven't had a problem yet.

 

i have a 07 ss/sc i too have pressure washed mine alot but never anything happened, but today it rained hard and the car didnt even move....

 

thats warrenty for sure!

 

there is a tsb for both, water prob and sunroof switch/trim. Check out the thread in the Recalls section.

 

Sunroofs aren't suposed to be sealed units, they generally have a drain system in place though. In my old car they had four tubes that drained the corners of the sunroof, on in the front door jams and one behind each tailight. What eventually happened was the rubber nipples got clogged with crap. I eventually had to take a wire and run it through the pipes a few times which cleared things out.

Now I dont know if Cobalts have the same type of setup but again, there has to be drainage system so hoepfully thats all thats wrong.

 

thats happened before. they will fix it for free.

 

there is a TSB on sunroofs. Dealer's know of this problem. Bring it in and get it fixed

 

There is a know issues that the sun roof can leak around the switch. There is a TSB on it. There is a known issue that the sun roof bezel can fall of. There is a TSB on that. TSB means Technical Service Bulletin.

Take it in, show them whats wrong, they will fix it.
