Hi guys.
So I read a lot of threads about water going in through the seal on the sunroof. My truck is a 93 FZJ80.
Last week I left the truck parked outside for a week, and some heavy rains happen. When I went to get it, the passenger floor was flooded, and when I drove the truck, when braking or accelerating hard, I could hear the water moving. At first, I thought it was the doors filled with water, but later discovered it was the rocker panels, specially de the right hand side one. I removed the 4 plugs on the rocker panel, and lots of water started coming out.
First question. Is this design ok? It seems weird that a plug won't let water OUT.
Second question. On the parts diagram, I can see the 2 drain hoses that ran to the back? but can't seem to find the ones that go to the front. where does the front drain to?
Third question. Maybe the water is coming in from the windshield? It is non OEM, both windshield glass and weatherstrip.
Also, done almost 300 km of dirt roads and noticed the sunroof started rattling. Is this normal? Now it rattles even on paved roads with potholes and deformations.
Kind regards!
