    Is there any way I can fix a moon roof leak myself? I never open it and wish
    it wasn't there. I've thought of sealing it shut with silicon sealer.

    Generally speaking, sunroofs and moonroofs leak because the drain hoses
    are clogged. It varies by manufacture, but often there is a drain in
    each corner with hoses that run down the A and C pillars, the seal
    around the panel was never meant to be water tight in the first place.
    Not sure if this is the case with yours, but that's where I'd look first.

  3. I agree with James - look for plugged drains. Cleaning them may be a job for
    professionals.It would be a hopeless thing to try to seal the moonroof;
    you'll never get it to hold for long.

    If you can find the exit to the drains, you can often clean them by
    using a shop vac. I just did mine that way a few weeks ago, used my hand
    to seal the end of the shop vac hose around the end of the drain line
    and it sucked a bunch of crud through.

    That sounds like a good idea, can anyone tell me how to find the drain exits
    on a 2001 Honda Accord? Would it show this in a shop manual?
