    Mine gave me a lovely shower every time I hit the brakes.

    That was the last car I ever bought with a sunroof. Although the mazda doesn't have one at all, and leaks less.

    Not all Saxo's had sunroof's and not all of them leak! The seal in the roof can perish due to age, easily replaced though! Mind it is a bit pricey from the stealers but better than wet seats! Leaks can be quite common also due to the drain tubes being blocked, cleaning these out so the water flows away can prevent water leaking into the car!

    Most people think its there sunroof leaking but on mine it was my aerial mount, they rust and let water in through the interior light, can easily be mistaken as a leaking sunroof

    Yep, every single french car with a sunroof will leak.

    Depends if you get lucky or not, my old saxo leaked through the sunroof but to be fair the one i have now is in all round better condition which i've had nearly 3 years now, never had a problem with that leaking

    I have had a saxo for 3 years never had a sun roof problem. Only thing was the airel. Just unscrew put a bit of sealant in and do back up. Never had a leak after that
