Darned sunroof drains again. I clean them out each oil change but again there was water in the passenger footwell recently and the e-parking brake ceased working. Don't know if they're related but I don't drive this car, it's my wife's, but I did take it on a long trip recently and discovered that cruise control isn't working either. Are they related? With a Parking Brake error flashing with the cruise work? When the weather clears I'll check the rear calipers.

Besides that, are there B-pillar drains for the sunroof? I clear the A-pillar drains but suspect that there are others as I'm noticing the headliner bubbling over the cargo area. Yesterday while unloading from the rear hatch, I noticed the carpet along the lower edge of the hatch was soaked, but no water to be found elsewhere. How did it get in the hatch? Maybe when I washed the car and sprayed along the bumper/hatch edge?

I found the white gloves in the spare tire kit, but no swim trunks. Beginning to think they should be included.

Erwin - I had trouble with my tire sensors - a suggestion that is so simple that no one suGGested it! Thanksgiving day my son-in-law's father suggested it. He is a Subaru tech (not the brightest bulb on the tree!)

Try disconnecting your battery for 5 minutes - that may reset your ills.

No one on Brickboard ,at my dealer, or Volvo of North America had this suggestion!

BTW - in my '08 XC70 I did not even lose my radio stations

Erwin - I also own a 2008 XC70 that took on water - a LOT of water, 2 inches on the floor after a really good rain storm.

I put duct tape around the sunroof to eliminate the sunroof, I think that the sunroof has 4 drains.

I had a trunk drain problem in our '90 744TI - when I pulled the trunk apart I found that the fitting at the bottom of the hose was smaller than the hose and caused pinch that collected debris, I fabricated a length of stiff, but flexible wire (I think it is high temperature wire with yellow insulation) and marked it at the proper length to fish out the hose. Every few weeks, I poured a cup of water down the drains to prove that they were open, cleaning them when they were not.

At my dealers advice, I had a new windshield insta;;e - no smiles

I should have taped the windshield as well.

A service writer I have known for a long tome took a hose and sprayed it down along the cowl and fender - a ton of crud came out and the leak got to be acceptable - after a good rain, I get a wet stripe on the road when I turn left from my driveway, but no water in the cabin. I hose this area once and a while.

BTW - This car did have a lot of pine needles in various locations when I bought it.
