Q: Light in the roof leaks, really?
I now have water inside the dashboard of my 2008 Jeep Patriot from the map light on the roof leaking. I had problems with the lights on the roof, the map and dome lights, located on either side of the sunroof leaking but fixed them recently. Now I hear sloshing water in the dash. This seems bad. Where do I even start? I am worried I will have to write off a truck with 72,000 miles on it!
