2007 XC90 V8 Are there any concerns?

Post by EAS1 »

Hello All,
I am new to this site and had a few questions.
I just purchased a 2007 XC90 with the V8. The car had 26,200 miles on it. The car also has the Certified Warranty. I did research the car and was satisfied with my results. Are there any concerns I should look for while the car is under the warranty? I have read many posts about water leaking from the sunroof.
I didn't see any 2007's in this area. Is the leaking on all XC90's or just certain model years?
I look forward to your replies.

Let me welcome you to MVS.
I don't know about the problem you mention with your particular model. Hopefully other XC90 owners will chime in.

I believe any reported sunroof leak problems are caused by debris in the drain tubes. I saw somewhere that had a how-to to clean them out. An elbow where the drain hose goes into the door body panel seems to be the culprit. Design problem? Maybe, but most cars with sunroofs use the designs of rubber tubes and elbows. If you only use the tilt feature when parking under any debris dropping trees it should be fine.
