did anyone else get a letter from audi of america about a sunroof leak problem?

 

nope.

 

I haven't either.

 

No letter here, and no leaks either, even though my car sat outside all winter in Minnesota. Care to post the exact content of the letter? Is it a recall or something?

yeah just got this letter today. thankfully no issues with mine

 

Got one also......thank God I never had this problem....something to look into.
It also adds a cleaning procedure for the Sunroof drains as part of a maintenance procedure.

 

I got two of the letters yesterady for both of the A4s we have. Reading the letter it seems like they are adding to the preventive Maintenance to inspect and clean the drains. I did have a 97 Civic that this happened to and man it made a mess of the car. It sucked every time it rained to get a full floorboard of water and then the stench as it dried out.

 

i got it..
and had no problem yet..
thank God.
But it does sound serious..

 

i got mine. and funny enough, about 6 months ago i had to have a company check the whole car because no one could figure out where water was coming in. I had to have a new headliner put in and the body seals redone.
