Leaks

Water is dripping in from the sunroof, before I bend over and buy a new seal, is there any adjustments that could be done to the sunroof as the seal does'nt appear to be damaged at all.

Also noticed an inch of water laying in the boot compartment above the wheel arch, there is a sort of small rubber gromet at the bottom, could this be the problem? Not sure if water is comming into the boot from the bottom or top...are these commom problems with the is200??

I've never suffered a leaky sunroof on the Lexus so I'm not sure of their construction but before you rush out and buy a new seal, open the sunroof and check if there are any drainage holes around the seal. Whenever I've had leaky sunroof problems on other cars it's usually because these drain holes have become blocked with grime. Poking around with a knitting needle or similar quite often dislodges whatever is in there and resolves the problem. Quite often these drainage holes run down the windscreen pillars and let the water out of the bottom.

Just a thought.

Good advise, many thanks.
