There is a leaky seal somewhere sunroof that deposits a weird substance on my inside windshield, rear view mirror and dash. It has happened since I bought it a year ago but it was a couple spots then and now all over. It happens about 3 days after I go through a car wash and it is a smeary substance. ---

Your car is under warranty. Your car has a leaking problem and THAT means your Jeep dealer should FIX your leaking problem under that warranty. Go see your dealer and tell them what you told us. Good Luck! ---

I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I purchased it used and of course the remaining warranty has since expired. I was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with a water leak which IS NOT due to a bad seal. As it’s been inspected by a glass specialist. SOMEONE PLEASE I NEED HELP!! ---

Sunroof drain tubes can plug up, which prevents the water from escaping the sunroof area. Given enough time, water will get through even the best seal, so that’s where I’d be looking next. ---

We should diagram it.
