6Sixathome, Are you driving an 07 or 08 Outlook?
Since this was an obvious problem in the 07's, and supposedly an easy fix, you'd think GM would have corrected things at the factory for 08's and beyond.
Sunroof technology isn't that difficult. You should be able to leave it open whenever you want and close it with NO leaks. My current vehicle has provided just such service for now 160k miles. Never a problem, never a leak for a sunroof that is at least twice the size of the one on the Outlook.
I agree, there is no reason that this should be an ongoing problem. I have an 02 Yukon with a sunroof that never has had any leaks. So lets call out GM on this. The reason that this is an ongoing problem is:
a) the person that designed the sunroof package doesn't know what he or she is doing and should go back to school
b) the person that installs the sunroof and drain lines doesn't know what he or she is doing and needs more training
c) the person that installs the sunroof and drain lines doesn't care if it is installed correctly
d) the line manager has heard of the problem but only cares about getting a large number of vehicles built and doesn't care if your vehicle leaks
e) the company doesn't care to fix the problem because they figure it will be the customer's problem that they can get the dealer to "fix" (at least four or five times)
It's obvious that either a top management person has not been made aware of the number of Outlook buyers that have had this problem, or they really don't care! Its hard to believe they would be too stupid not to know how to SOLVE IT! This is ridiculous! And I am planning to buy either an 09 Outlook or Traverse with a sunroof! :angryfire:
