Default Water leak

Had my 2019 q3 since August and when I got in the car today, a leak seems to have developed. Water is leaking from the dome light area. Off to the dealer tomorrow. Not happy

Nothing. Didn’t happen when they sent it through the car wash. So I’ll wait to see if it happens again

Almost definitely coming from a windshield that is not sealed properly. I'd be going over the windshield and pano sunroof with a flashlight to figure this one out ASAP.

Yeah that’s my guess it’s one or the other. I was told to come back if it happens again since sending it through the car wash once did nothing. Yesterday I used a hose on it for 10 minutes straight and no leak. Suppose to rain soon so we’ll see what happens. Hasn’t rained since the day I brought it in last week

Ugh, did you have additional leakage when it rained and that's why you took it back in?

Yeah it rained again the other day. When it rains nothing but as soon as I start driving water starts dripping from the dome light area and the dome lights activate so it’s almost like the water pools up somewhere and then leaks out once the car moves

Update: dealer said it’s the sunroof but it’s very intermittent when it happens so their keeping the car till Monday since it’s suppose to rain over the weekend they want to see if it leaks again. Out of 3 of their tests, it leaked only once
