I have a 2008 Jeep Compass and is experiencing the same thing. I would like to know the same thing too. I just cannot imagine why this is happening when I have friends that have the same problem

 

Never did find out. Took it to a local body shop here after ordering the part from the Jeep dealership. They couldn't find it either so they routed it out somewhere to drain. No issues yet but we haven't had much rain...just some snow. Would still really like to know where that stupid thing is!!

 

Hi there, I purchased an '08 Jeep Compass in February. It looked brand new, with low mileage. I had the surprise of the leaking map lights about 2 months after I bought it. I got in the car, and on my way to work got a wake up splash of water in my face as I turned at a red light. The soaked floors have been a constant since. In August I had worse problems when everything on the vehicle went dead. Lights, gauges, locks, basically everything power, except the engine(worked great), windows and sunroof were fine, but the car was brain dead. I took it to a repair shop next to work, they told me they couldn't do anything because the dealer had to fix it. Took it for Appointment Sept1, two weeks later they tell me they are waiting on the part and it would be Nov before it came in. almost 3 months. Anyway I got it back in mid October in stead of the end of nov. Cost 781.00 to replace instrument cluster. Car worked great when I got it back, well for three days anyway. Then the locking problems started again. now my door locks work when they want to. I hope that you guys have much better luck with your Jeeps than I have been having. Since it is all electrical type problems. I am hoping that it is not being caused by the leaks through the lights.

 

Our 2008 Patriot suffered from the same problem, ( imagine our surprise when we had water running out of the interior light!!!) The fix for us was to use low pressure compressed air to blow out both drain tubes and test the drain to be sure it was flowing out where it should. The water seems to seep past the sunroof seals and overflows over the front edge of the sheet metal basin and gathers on top of the headliner. We have to clean the tubes out about once a year... about a 10 minute job.

 

My '14 Pat has a sun roof and so far no leaks.
But every time it rains or when i wash it i'm always looking for leaks.
Sun or Pano roofs are great 'when they don't leak or break out of warranty'.

Myself, I will never buy another vehicle with a sun roof.
I consider them ticking leak time bombs. And when they break out of warranty, they're expensive to get fixed or a DIY PITA to fix.
