Leaking Through Onstar Speaker?

Day before yesterday, on my way home from work, it started raining. A little on the heavier side but not a monsoon. After about 20 minutes I felt a water droplet on my leg. I looked up and there was a water droplet hanging from the OnStar speaker. I wiped it with a napkin & it did not produce another droplet. Met hubby at a care wash, assuming it was from the sunroof somehow. He looked at the sunroof and said it definitely did not come from there. He popped off the OnStar speaker and there was no water anywhere up in there. He's thinking it could possibly be from the roof rails. Anyone else ever have this issue?

Heh, at least yours was just water. I had mud dripping from mine one time . . .


A quick blow-out with compressed air fixed the issue:

Don't blow too hard!

I know a gal that took her H3 to get the drains blown out, and the guy that did it used too much air pressure. He blew the drain tubes off the sun-roof channel (between the roof and headliner). She now has water pouring in from everywhere and is looking for someone to pull the headliner and re-attach the tubes. It looks like a major deal.

Yep. I set my regulator for 35PSI after reading about a similar experience. Sorry, I should have mentioned that earlier.
