Problem overview

Some Mazda Tribute owners report experiencing issues with their sunroof, including malfunctioning and leaking. These problems may stem from clogged drainage channels, which can lead to water overflow and wet spots on the roof liner. To resolve the issue, some owners find it helpful to inspect and clear the drain holes located in the corners of the sunroof frame using thin wires or straws. If the drains are clogged, cleaning them can restore proper water drainage and prevent further damage to the vehicle's interior. However, if the issue persists or if owners are uncertain about the cleaning process, it is advisable to seek professional assistance from a dealer, particularly if the problem involves the sunroof sealing.
