I have a leak in my '08 from the sunroof switches on the inside. That's right, the water comes from the control switches, and drips on the gear shifter. It's not much water, just a drip.
I'm guessing the water comes from the sunroof, and somehow makes it's way to the switches.
Anyone else have that issue, or a suggestion to fix it without bothering with a dealer?

Might be a bad seal on the roof antenna. My GTP has an antenna right over the dome light and it leaked in the light from the seal from the antenna tight after I got it.

Thanks. I didnt even think about the antenna. It's in the right place.
The seal on mine looks good though.
I sprayed all the seals on the antenna and sunroof with silicone, hopefully that will help.

Well mine just in for a week for the water on the floor. Found two leaks they claim from 2 drain gormets. They had it a week. But big storm that night and no signs of leak.

Went in for torque wobble and some boost issues. They claimed they talked to tech and conditions are characteristic of SS

They also knew the LR side marker was out I knew why I told them bulb socket was corroded and it took them 5 days to look at the bulb socket to have to order one and have my car an extra day because of the part not in stock.

Not another good dealer experience sometimes I kinda wonder why dealers are closing


The first dealer drilled hole in my floor pan of the car to drain the water. And they put the stage kit in!!

Another dealer broke a TPM when they were suppose to Rotate and balance


What do I do??
