It sounds like the sunroof is leaking. Has it rained recently where you are? ---

Yes sir. I’ve had the drains cleared by the dealer. Multiple times. Has comeback in a couple of months each time. Even tried snaking myself using nylon trimmer wire. Again, that worked, but didn’t last more than a few months. Car lives outside, but not under any trees that would contribute to the clogging. Going to try the dealer again, but will ask them to attempt a more thorough job. ---

There was a recall for incorrectly installed sunroof glass. Do you know if your vehicle was affected?

Not sure. I bought it as CPO in 2014. I’ll have Subaru check the VIN. THANK YOU for the tip! ---

Here are the VINs affected for the Outback: FROM B_327519 TO B_435565 If your VIN starts with a B and the last six digits are between those listed, there is a recall for insufficient adhesive between the glass panel and the frame. You can see it yourself at [safercar.gov](http://safercar.gov). ---

Great info! My VIN was affected, however I checked the status on [subaru.com](http://subaru.com), and the 3 recalls listed there, including the sunroof adhesive, all show “Completed”. I called the dealer who’d cleared the drains multiple times in the past and they’re “looking into it” and I expect a callback, probably tomorrow. ---

You’re welcome. I presume you also have a “soggy” Outback? Best of luck with the recall.
