You are the man-you saved me from pulling apart the side covers- my leak filled up the spare tire basin and ran down to the rear floors not to mention the rear mats- thanks a lot you saved a lot of people money from greedy dealers
Dude I watched your video about a year ago and you were absolutely right, the leak was right around the hinges so I end up using a black duck tape since that my car is black. Since then nobody even notice those tapes and I never had leak anymore. Thanks a lot from Michigan
Thanks a lot from Pittsburgh PA for posting this video! We had a leak in the back of our Murano similar to yours. I followed your advice and looked at the seams, then pulled the ceiling down like you did -- only to discover that a bolt had fallen from one of the top hinges connecting the liftgate to the roof! This created a small gap on the roof right in the channel for draining rainwater. I used a 13mm wrench to secure the bolt, tightened the other bolt, and then applied the Permatex silicone you had used to where the hatch meets the roof just for good measure. Poured a bunch of water into the channel (with the liftgate down, since I think when it was up its weight pushed down enough on the hinge to force that gap closed), and no leak anymore! I wouldn't have figured this out without your help, so thanks again so much!
Man i thought I was the only one having this problem good to know you were able to get it fix i recently did the same thing as you did just today hopefully it fixes my problem as well. I was thinking of getting a new weather strip from the dealer thinking it was the problem that rubber part cost $300 im like hell no!
You were just credited on Pine Hollow Diagnostics (a popular Mechanic that solves problems other mechanics can't seem to) for helping him with a client that water had damaged his electronics. Good thing for your posting
It worked, finally after 2 plus years of removing roof rack and interior molding my Murano is bone dry. The flowable silicone worked. Sat outside for three days of heavy rain. No I can fill in the two small holes I put in the spare area. LOL.
So happy to have found your video; thank you for your perseverance and for sharing. I thought the leak only occurred when I went through certain car washes and that I was losing my mind b/c I smelled a faint mildew smell when I dared not have the A/C cranked. Already living in a condo with a leaky roof and a boyfriend who thinks I'm insane every time I walk in and announce "I smell mold!!", I was sure that I was having olfactory flashbacks or something when I smelled mold in my vehicle, too. So I've been driving around in a dirty Mo, freezing, and wondering if there's a treatment for my nose-psychosis. Tropical Storm Elsa just passed over So Flo and the mysterious "minor" leak has graduated to "Houston may have a problem, but you have a flood." I'll be attempting silicone fix and headliner cleaning this weekend. Fingers crossed. p,s, Daughter of a retired firefighter, here; thank you for your other services as well.
Thank you for this. I have been struggling for a year to find a leak that comes into the car near the rear seat release knobs. I even drilled two 1/16 holes under the spare to allow the water to drain. Next going to look at the cracks
Good info, I have the same exact car so I will check that out. My leak seems to be closer to the rear seats but maybe thats do to my driveway pitch. THANKS !
Awsome. The other day I ran into another Murano owner. I mentioned the issue and checked his car. Yep, sure enough he had the early signs of the leak. Nissan should issue a recall. Ridiculous. Glad to help.
Funny, I was about to start pulling off the roofrack mounts on my '09 and I noticed a green alge bloom around THAT seam on the right side. I thought that I should google it before I start a new project and here I am! I couldn't find any standing water but now that it's getting colder, there is condensation on all of the windows - on the inside of the car!
Yeah, I can guarantee if you pull down your headliner in the rear. You’ll see the two spots. Seems like he caught it early. Personally I’d seal those seams and throw some damp rid in your car for a few days to a week. Good luck
Thank you for this video. I have a 2011 Murano this started this weekend I’m heavy rains in the right side. I applied the silicone a few hours before it rained and it still leaked. Do I need to seal the rubber sticker around the hole ? The water still came from There?
The sticker is inside, I don't believe that would solve the problem. That glue weld that you siliconed actually runs the whole way up your roof rail cover. You might need to remove that cover (not super simple) and silicone the rest of the seam. Does your Murano have a sunroof? Apparently most water leaks are due to clogged drain holes from the sunroof. Possible another area to look at.
My leak is back. Until I get to open it up again I drilled two small pinholes under the spare tire so the water drains out. If anyone does this be careful because the fuel tank is under that spot.
Thank you for sharing the video. I have a Nissan Frontier I took it to the dealer while the vehicle was under warranty and they replaced the rear glass twice. The problem stopped for a little while and right when was out of warranty every time it rains I have to put a towel under the back seat. I’ve been trying to figure out where the water is coming from but I don’t know. The product that you showed in the video might help. Could you please send me the information about it. Thank you.
same year murano, same problem. i removed all the seam sealer from the joints and refilled with silicone. did this in june when temp was in the 80's. it's been through many a thunderstorm since and completely dry....HOWEVER, drove it to work this afternoon (while it was and had been raining all day) and much to my dismay, that spot is wet again. all i can figure at this point is that the temperature change has caused the silicone to contract???? low to mid 40's currently here in northwestern pa. To those of you who are having the same issue, good luck.
If you remove the roof rack rails that run the length of the roof system. I believe the seam that dries out runs down those rails. Maybe it’s coming in from there. Also more silicone wouldn’t hurt. Good luck. But yes work in a heated environment
@@Jag-leaper If I remember correctly. There are two plastic caps at each end that pop off with light prying. They expose the two screwheads. And then I believe there is a small cap in the middle that you pop off to get to the middle screw head. If you have the roof rack the entire system comes off as one piece. If not and the two rails come off separately. Underneath the rails are these metal tracks that come right off and expose the seams. Took me about two hours. That includes removal, cleaning, and reinstallation. good luck
i had a same issue with my Nissan leaf same crack on both side. what a shame for nissan as a car company how can they make a car that leaks water from the roof. talk about untested and badly engineered product.
And I'm having a similar problem with my cube. Popular opinion on cube owner forums is it's the result of water coming up from the rear tire spray on wet roads, but I've not seen a lot of evidence of that. It's definitely coming in at the rear corners, but I have to diagnose whether it's traveling down the sides of the cargo area from a roof leak. Fun times ahead.
I have a leak on the rear left of my 2009 Murano, and we actually did trace it back to the roof rail. The problem is that I don't want to damage that roof rail end cap while removing it. Can you offer any advice about what direction to pry so that I don't break the retaining clips? I've read that some models require you to loosen bolts from under the headliner first, but I'd rather not remove the headliner if possible just because it seems difficult.
Offhand, I can’t remember how I removed them. I think I actually referenced another TH-cam video but I definitely know you don’t have to loosen them from underneath the headliner. In fact, I think they’re welded nuts underneath the headliner so technically you couldn’t even loosen them. When I get home, I’ll take a peek and see how I remove the end caps. I remember it was fairly easy.
@@miamifireLT Bless you for checking. I'm terrified to break something, because I've pried pretty hard so far, and I'm worried the tabs will be brittle from the sun.
@@m.zelnick OK, had a chance to look at it. I believe you try to roll it from the inside out towards you. I vaguely remember possibly cracking one or two clips. But I know that I did put a few davs of silicone on the inside to help hold it down. I have not had one loosen up at all. Also, remember, there is a center plug that needs to be removed to access another mid bolt on both sides of the rails. See if you have a plastic trim remover. I believe that helped me get it off as well. Lastly, I would probably scan TH-cam and look into Murano rails removal
@@miamifireLT Thank you so much. I wasn't able to find much else for the OEM rails specifically, so you were my best chance. I'll have to make my own video contribution once I'm able to make the repair. 😁
I would think it most likely is. Although the seam that I showed in the video runs all the way down the top of the car underneath that black metal trim on the roof. If you takeoff the roof rails you can access the seam and maybe see if it’s coming from there.
@@miamifireLT I should say "Not the back door, BUT the side door behind driver"... Car stinks because of the water. We can't leave the car outside, or if rains, it will flood that area. I've searched, and seems that ALL Murano has this problem: Nissan should do a better job.
I have a 2018 Nissan Murano, do you think your fix would work for my vehicle? My leak actually runs down the side walls of the trunk, both left and right side.
I have a funny feeling that they probably built yours very similar. I would open the hatch and get on a stepstool and look to see if you can find the seam welds. Then I would silicone those areas.

Wow, thanks man. Kinda silly, but made my night. I’ll take the win. Glad it’s continuing to help peeps.
Thanks I have been trying to find this leak for months
Thank you for taking your time to explain the problem, mine was leaking for a year finally I watched your post and my Murano is bone dry.
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!!! I've been having this problem for MONTHS and have just been so frustrated by not being able to find the problem!
Thank you so much! I would have gone thru all the steps you went thru and probably still not figured it out! You're are a great help!

Same issue on our 2011, thanks, very helpful.
Thank you so much for the informative video and the explanation! I probably would've never figured it out.
Thank you very much for sharing, got an 05 Murano, will give your way a shot.

Awesome, thanks! I am suffering the same problem. I looked at that seam but did not think that could be the issue. Wow, little did I know!
Thanks. I fixed very well!!!
Thanks for saying that I hope it fixes your problem
Thank you so much, I'm glad I found your video. I have the same issue.
Thanks!!! My Murano has the same problem
Thank you very much that’s a great information I fix mine thanks to you
Thanks from Australia...!
Good info, I have the same exact car so I will check that out. My leak seems to be closer to the rear seats but maybe thats do to my driveway pitch. THANKS !
Thank you for making this video. We have the same issue. Fixing it tomorrow. Will let you know if it worked.
