This is in regards to the window seal on the driver and passenger window. it holds water in the seal and has a very strong offensive mold/mildew odor. each time you roll down either window the smell is so strong that your allergies are immediately affected. i don't think it is healthy to constantly smell mold when you're driving your vehicle. i took it to the dealer a couple of times and they agreed that it was horrible, but only suggested that i take an air hose and blow out the trapped water. that doesn't work because each time it rains or you wash your vehicle it smells again. i hate driving a newer vehicle that smells like a molded trash container. i would like a better solution for this never ending problem. *tr

Water leaking from sunroof - leaks from both airbag areas, above sunvisors and through seatbelts. have serviced two times and will be going back a third time this week. first occurred 6 days after taking car off lot, then again 1 month later and now 18 days later (each time it has been in the rain). first time, took out windshield and replaced, thinking it was loose seal. second time said the strip around the sunroof was flat and replaced it. this time they think the front drainage tubes are not working and are backing up into the inside and leaking. the mechanic rode with me and could feel the water puddling up in the sunroof. i am afraid the water will create mold and mildew, as well as get into the electrical components of the vehicle. the water pours out of the front sides and onto the steering wheel as you are driving. *tr
