    Wow so thankful for your upload! I just purchased a 2019 about 2 months ago. Live in Florida and it's now storm season, noticed my car was super humid after rain. Finally witnessed the leak while in the car during a storm. Will be fixing this this weekend! Thank you.

    My daughter just called me very upset because her dealership in Atlanta charged her $200 to look at this issue and told her it’s a $4700 repair. They said they have to replace roof rails and the headliner due to stains. This is why they are called stealerships. I’ll be doing this when she comes home for Christmas. Thanks for the great video.

    Thanks! This method worked for any cars with leaking roof rail. My 2012 Volvo XC60 started leaking at A-pillar at 10 years old. It's not from windshield. Not from sunroof drain. It turned out to be leaking from roof rail bolt holes around the gaskets. I sealed them with Sikaflex polyurethane-based Construction Sealant and no more water leak! I think it'll happen to any car eventually so it's good to learn how to do this. The seal is not going to last forever. 10 years is the time it's likely fail even it won't leak for new cars. No need to caulk the whole roof channel like some people did. That's just dumb. The water channel act as gutter to divert water to back and front of the car.

    Excellent video. This is the simplest repair technique for the roof rail leak recommended on the RAV4World forum. Only thing to add is at the very front of the rail in front of that long white clip there is a flat rectangular clip that you should put a new piece of 3M double sided tape on to replace the OEM tape. Other than the silicon you can use butyl rubber caulk or tape. Also you can just seal up the holes in the roof with plugs or caulk and just use the 10mm bolts to hold on the rails.

Be careful when removing the rails the main front white mounting plug can break off part of it’s mounting assembly from the rail itself. If this does not work I will be plugging the holes .

    Hey everyone, I just had this happen to my 2021 Rav4 Adventure! I have the high profile roof rails and I couldn't figure out how to remove them, and it is very different from the ones in this video. I didn't want to try to take out the headliner so I brought it my local Toyota Dealer to see what they would say about the problem. FYI, I bought mine used, out of warranty from a non-Toyota dealer. The Toyota dealer looked up the problem and said the issue is logged in their system and they actually said "it's not a recall yet but we will take care of this for you at no charge" they said they are also going to look for "organic growth" obviously meaning mold... I'm actually super impressed that Toyota is fixing this for me. It's being fixed right now, they said they had to order some parts. My advice is to take it to the dealer to see if they'll take care of if for you....Thanks so much for the video, it was super helpful!

    I just pulled off my rails and it was a shitload harder that what I saw in this video. Two of the front clip mounts broke off from the underside of the rails. They're setting up with JB Weld right now, so I guess I can't finish this until tomorrow. Oh, and yes, be sure to put a new piece of the grey outdoor 3M double-sided tape on the area in the very front of the rails. This will keep the wind from lifting them up.

Wondering if the rails drain thru the same place as when water enters the sunroof. I visibly verified the front holes of the sunroof are clear, I mean we never open it so other then dust I saw no debry. Guessing I'll have to disassemble the tracks, reading thru comment I wont even waste time going to dealer since I am out of warranty

"The specific condition covered by this program is roof rail water leaks from the roof rail mounting clips. If a water leak has been verified, the vehicle will be inspected and repaired with new roof rail clips, and Toyota will clean, replace and/or repair water damaged parts under the terms of this Warranty Enhancement Program. The Warranty Coverage is applicable for 10 years from the date of first use, regardless of the mileage".
