    I checked the seal around the window. There was one part that had "slipped." I put back on but still leaking.

It is going to be the seal in your moon roof. Unless you have holes in the top of your car you can be sure that the water is coming from there.

SOURCE: 2003 Neon, Water leaks into front of Moon Roof near switch.

usally its a factory error and then know about it. check the seals and check the back end for bad welds or get silcone and inject in the affected areas. or take it to a body shop to get it fixed..

Windows not working properly including the sunroof could it be the fuse? if so where is the fuse box and what is the fuse number? 2006 nissan altima

All the fuses and relays are listed here. Looks like they may be controlled by the Body Control Module?

Fuse Box Diagram Nissan Altima (L31; 2002-2006)

https://fuse-box.info > nissan > nissan-altima-l31-2002-...
Instrument Panel. The fuse box is located behind the cover below and to the left of the steering wheel.

There might be some help here. You can change the word 'windows' for 'moon roof'.

Water is collecting IN the rear passenger side door How is it getting IN??

if there is a hole in the roof for moon or sun, that creates interior water, runs along the roof inside and down the pillars. a defect in the rain gutter above the door, dripping water onto the top of the door, inside via a bad weld. a defect in the rubber seal along the window on the outside. generally the water leaves a trail of residue from where its been, you just have to look for it.

Sunroof stuck open, think the switch maybe bad

I have same problem. Below are a couple of suggestions from LincolnOnLine.com on how to close the sunroof manually. The first relates to a '93 and I'm not sure about the second. Use this info at your own risk. If you get a better answer, PLEASE POST IT HERE FOR ME. Thanks. Mort


Here is the text from my 93 Manual. There is an access panel in the rear centre of the headliner if it is the same as my 93.

Manual Operation

To close the sliding panel manually, remove the roof access hole trim panel located at the rear of the moon roof assembly. Remove the motor and bracket assembly as outlined to expose the splined shaft of the moon roof drive gear box. Using a typical corporate door window regulator crank handle properly set on the splined shaft, crank the moon roof panel closed.

Motor

CAUTION:
It is recommended that the battery ground cable be disconnected when removing or installing the moon roof motor assembly.


Removal and Installation

1. Operate glass panel until rear of glass panel is flush with sheet metal surface.

2. Remove motor access cover.

3. Remove two motor retaining screws.

4. Lower motor away from splined motor gear and disconnect electrical connector.

5. To install, reverse Removal procedure and synchronize motor as outlined under Adjustments.

Good Luck! __________________

A/C water leak, passenger side Where is the drip pan located?

I have a similar problem with a 2003 cadillac cts. The water drips from the bottom area of the glove compartment. If you would stick your hand under and feel around, there is a removable panel ( two small bolts and one star screw) there , you will fell the sponge on the other side of the panel is wet. I removed this panel and ran the air conditioner and place a large mirror on the floor and shine a flash light up but did not see any water dripping.
The Driver side has a similar panel, I removed that also but saw nothing, not even the canister. But the out side pipes from the AC show the canister leads in the hood under ther driver side.
Any way I looked under the car and found the drain hose. It is located under the driver seat area. I tried fishing a coat hanger through it and it went a long way up. If you look on the side panel where the parking brake is located you will see this hose going to the top of the hood. You will need to depress the parking brake for a better view. I tried the Ac bot no condensation water came throug.
I late found a similiar hose on the passenger side. I tried to push the wire in but did not get too far.
One of these hoses drain the Sun ( moon) roof.
I then took a cap from a silicone tune ( u know the screw on tip that you cut at 45 degrees) That I inserted into the tube under car, then I insert a small funnel into the silicone cap , next with my garden ready and flowing , I force water up through the AC drain hose. Dont do too long, 5 to 7 secs is good. You will see the water come through the other drain hose. It is best to have some onlookers. Note some water might flow up to the moon roof drain and into the car so place some towel on the seat.
That works for me.
Thanks all
and good luck
