Check the drains have not split an the 4 corners of the sunroof cassette. Not uncommon as the plastic tube gets brittle with age. Also check they are not blocked and backing up.

When I was getting a leak that I blamed the sunroof for, I found it was actually a leak through the windshield. It would only do it when the rain fell from a certain direction and the car was on a slope. Made it harder to find!

Based on the corrosive evidence, it is leaking between the glass and the metal frame.

A bead of silicon in the short-term around the glass to metal joint may be ugly but may prove the theory.

Ran over to Lowes to get wood for project , got free air for the right front tire, left rear went flat from a nail or blowout, TBD

The free air at Lowe's is a nice touch. I guess they realized guys show up on the way to the job site and overload their trucks that already have 21 PSI in the rear tires.

Luxury! I have never seen that here in Canada at a Lowes, which is now reverting to Rona (yet another failed US company in Canada).

That does make sense if you have a load you have picked up and you need to run your vehicle or trailer tires higher. Nice touch indeed!

I only just started seeing them in the past few months. I wouldn't be surprised if they made their way up north soon!

Crank , no start on Shagg this morning.

I let battery droop so needed a jump pack this morning. Cranking was about 80% of normal but no firing. Could hear fuel pump start , but could not hear ETB initialization.

Before I tore into it, I put it on a 4 amp charger for 30 minutes while I got some groceries

30 Minutes later , bump…Vrooom

Another data point telling us Volvo engine crank is not a good indicator of enough Volvovoltage for starting.

Low pressure on the electric hose.
