2022 Volvo XC90 Repair History: What the Repair Orders Show

Visit 1: March 27–28, 2025

• The owner reported that water was leaking from the rearview mirror area and dripping onto the main console.
• After confirming the concern with a water test, it was found that water was entering the cabin due to the rear sunroof drains not draining properly.
• The rear sunroof glass was removed, and the drains were found to be kinked and partially blocked with debris.
• The headliner was removed, both rear sunroofs drain hoses were replaced, and the seal on the rear glass was replaced because it had formed a gap that allowed debris into the sunroof tray, causing the blockage.
