I was having a leak on my 2010 Ridgeline after a windshield replacement, I popped up the roof trim and found an almost identical crack. Thx for the video.
I cant believe Honda still not fixing the problems that occurred from the first years of the G2…my 2018 RTL-E has rust on the top of both rear doors under the seal rubber, and after i took my Ridgeline to the local dealership and the body shop checked and told me that i need 2 new rear doors…i have extended warranty, but so far Honda USA didn’t call me back after a bunch of my calls…they say a case manager has to call me, but never did and this is going on for over 3 months after i found out the rust…
Had the same issue. 98 Crv. A lot of people told me it was the tray below the window filling up and leaking down into the fresh air vent. Took all part and did the retro fix and that didn’t fix it. Pulled off the rack and the trim on the top and sure enough the seam sealer on the top was cracked all the way down to the window. Used some clear window sealer and instantly fixed the issue. Thanks man!!
Thanks for this video! SafeLight Auto Glass is in my garage replacing my windshield as I figured it was due to a poor replacement a few years ago. They looked over everything; the windshield bond was solid so they suspected a weld under the trim. That's when I found this video and it's exactly what I'm dealing with. The old windshield broke while they were taking it out so they're putting a new one in but luckily they are still covering the trip under the warranty. They said to wait two days before trying your fix so the new windshield is fully cured before I could accidentally bump it ;) Also good news, I cleaned my garage enough to park the truck in there for the first time in 10 years.

I expect that @harrisonashleyfrancis9613 did the right thing (i.e. seal the seam & around the roof-rack plates from front to back). Prep with a serious pressure washing first. Then, for example.... th-cam.com/video/KysXj_PfIAE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video. I though it might be the windshield also but this seems to be a legit Honda problem cause mine is on a 2010 pilot. Same exact area and side.
Thanks! 2009 RTL with the same issue. I have been cleaning the headliner and ignoring it but going to tackle this and replacing my busted powered center window this weekend.
Thanks so much for making this video I’m getting ready to tackle this project today same exact leak same exact spot live in Hawaii so I think mine might be more rest related but thanks again for posting
So my problem was actually the drain hold in the sunroof. You gotta get your compressor nozzle right in the hole and blow that some bitch out. Weekly, monthly.
had same leak prob worse on the passenger side would actually start dripping inside the cab installed a roof rack fixed the prob maybe blocked up where was leaking in not sure but one way to do it didnt notice any cracks or anything
Prep is key. Pressure wash the groove and then wipe it down with alcohol. Use body sealer, or marine grade silicone... is what I hear. I have to go in for another try. Good luck.
@@EricAnderson58 I tried a similar method and it only solved the problem briefly. I'm thinking that my headliner removal is next and to observe and seal the leaks from the inside.
Mine is doing the exact same thing. I did check the sun roof drains and they’re fine. I poured water directly in the roof rack track and it leaked. I’m hoping this sealant solved your problem. Sure would like to know.
@@EricAnderson58 you're a good man, thank you for showing us this fix 👍 Knowledge sharing Dpt. : I can report my MICU Module (located near driver footwell) does not like to get showered by roof leaks. Look out for green/white oxidation evidence on circuit board as well as "Body electrical controller" errors in your OBD2 scanner (I keep these faults resetting once a week). Also beware of battery drain when MICU stops entering normal "sleep mode" (got myself a $60 jump-starter at Costco). Enjoy your HondAcura as it is far more reliable than any German money-pit. ✌️
I'd have to watch the video. Its shown in there. My own fix did not work. I am going to clean the channel again, test it section by section with a hose...

My 2013 has a very similar leak on the passenger side, I was getting ready to pull the new windshield. Holly cats, going to do thus first. Thank you!

I have a small leak in same area but mine is a 2005 Honda CRV. Thank you For video.

I’m in Kona, I’m having the same issue!

Drain holes. 😬
@@chriswbrashear blow out the drain holes in your sun roof. I’m look at a video right now about how to snake them

I having the same problem with my Ridgeline just found this video mine looks exactly like yours lol
Thanks for the video. Same problem here
thanks! i was scared to pop that piece off i got the same leaks
had same leak prob worse on the passenger side would actually start dripping inside the cab installed a roof rack fixed the prob maybe blocked up where was leaking in not sure but one way to do it didnt notice any cracks or anything
My ridgeline has the same problem! When is honda going to recall and fix this?????????
I have the same issue on my 2009 Ridgeline, going to try this!

@@EricAnderson58 yours ever get permanently fixed?
@@harrisonashleyfrancis9613 no. Still leaks. I have had it listed as a Task on my Google Calendar that follows me like a bad penny.
@@EricAnderson58 I tried a similar method and it only solved the problem briefly. I'm thinking that my headliner removal is next and to observe and seal the leaks from the inside.
@@harrisonashleyfrancis9613 could be. Let me know. If I make any headway, I will post above.
2023 update: no leaks to date?
Doesn't seal of that end and basically stops water runing?
I don't care for these trim strips at all. I wish makers would bring back rain gutters and side vent windows like the old days, they worked just fine.
Mine is doing the exact same thing. I did check the sun roof drains and they’re fine. I poured water directly in the roof rack track and it leaked. I’m hoping this sealant solved your problem. Sure would like to know.
Yes. It worked!

you didnt even mention if this fixed the leak....
Very helpful video! How long did you wait, or let it cure, before putting the black plastic strip back on?
@@EricAnderson58 Perfect, I just put the sealant on today, I will put the strip back on today as well then!
Did you have to buy new clips and new molding trim.. or did you you use the same ones
same
What’s that product ?
I'd have to watch the video. Its shown in there. My own fix did not work. I am going to clean the channel again, test it section by section with a hose...
@@EricAnderson58 did you ever figure it out? same leak issue here..sunroof drains are open
@@gnvdude I'm so lazy. I have done the second rack mount to no avail, and will do the front rack mount tomorrow.
