I have a 2018 premier and last summer during rain season (FL) my equinox flooded. I bought this in 2017 only has 30,000 miles on it We will see, I am not driving this if every time it rains i have to check to see if it is dry no way it already was smelling from the last time. They said take it to the dealer and have them check. They checked the tubes all 4 tubes completely clean of debris. I actually took it to my auto body shop they found out where the leak was coming from and video taped it because they were shocked! Seems when it rains there is a drain That goes to the 4 tubes well the drain is taking in the water but not draining fast enough it is pouring out over the sides. So much more to this story but last week it poured again and sure enough water in the back seat and wheel well. The next day I take off from work take it to dealers and they in form me that looks like I need new sunroof and by the way you Have a lot of water in your wheel well you should take a shop vac to it when you get home. My neighbors placed trash bags over the opening taped it down we were getting rain that night. Go to close my sunroof and it won’t close turned off the car turned it back on and nothing. The week after the rainstorms I went out opened up my sunroof picked up what I needed and headed home. Took it to dealer they said motor went bad they replaced In April of 2022 we had some bad rainstorms since I work from home I am not in my car as much. Issues with sunroof back in 2020 while driving I had my sunroof open and it started to rain I tried to close the sunroof but it would close then open had to pull over shut off the car. Let me say I have been living a nightmare I have taken my car to the dealer I think three times now. I can not believe I just found this forum. We will never buy a sunroof option moving forward. This entire episode has been an expensive nightmare to put it politely. Add to that if the water accumulates long enough in the spare tire wheel well mold will become pervasive (in my case) under the subfloor which covers the spare tire compartment. The relay has it own small service door accessible from the trunk storage area. This design is very problematic due to when the rear port of the sunroof leaks it drops water all over the electrical relay box located on the driver side rear of the vehicle. If you ajar or wrinkle the sun shade it will never look or operate the same again. If you attempt this you must use extreme care to not touch the interior sun shade of the sunroof mechanism. To fix the issue the rear interior of the vehicle has to be disassembled starting at the spare wheel floor and then work your way up the sides of the hard plastic walls until finally dropping the headliner to gain access to the drain ports. In my scenario only one of the two being on the driver side rear hole was clogged. Unknown to me at the time the Panoramic sunroof has four drain holes. The first glass shop checked only the front two drain holes and reported no issues. We took the 2018 Equinox to a Glass replacement shop per the local Chevy dealer since we were one month out of warranty.
