07 Cooper water leak

help! i have a 07 mini cooper and ive been having problems with water leaking into my mini when it rains. it seems that rain water is somehow getting into my car when it rains a substantial amount and its pooling in my roof liner and when i drive my car the water comes out around the black seal of my sunroof into the interior of my car. you can see where the water is in the roof liner becasue it leaks through and saturates the liner. im not leaving my sunroof open or cracked--the only thing i can think of would be bad seals around the car or sunroof--but the mechanics cant seem to pinpoint where its coming in. anyone else having problems like this?

[FONT=Verdana]I have a very similar problem. I have an 05 MCS and after a hard rain falls I find water has collected in the battery box area. Similarly the dealer doesn't have a clue to the cause. Let me know if find a resolution.[/FONT]

Have they checked the roof drains? There are drain tubes in the front and rear of the sunroof channel - sometimes they crack, get plugged or come disconnected. Haven't had this issue personally but have read of others having this issue. Good luck.

Drain tubes

I had something similar after my sunroof was replaced and they didn't install the drain tubes properly. Get it fixed ASAP.
