    I may be a little overly critical here, but I am noticing a little moisture
    coming in through the sun roof after a hard rain on my newly purchased
    Elantra. It's really not a lot of water and certainly not enough of an
    accumulation to drip onto the interior of the car. However, is it normal to
    have a certain amount of seepage, or should I be concerned?

  2. Open the window, check to see there is no debris against the gaskets. If
    everything seems in order, check it with a hose or car wash. If it still
    leaks, have the dealer check it out. It may never get worse, but certainly
    won't get any better so take advantage of the warranty.

    Your sunroof is designed for water to be able to leak past the glass
    gasket, but it should then run down into the sunroof assembly, which has a
    drain at each corner that takes the water out of the assembly to each wheel
    area. If you have water entering the car, there's an actual problem,
    perhaps a clogged drain.

    Thank you for your assistance. I took it to the local dealer and they
    informed me, as you stated, that the roof is designed to take on the
    moisture that I had been experiencing. However, it does appear that the roof
    sits a little low on one end and it was suggested that I have this adjusted.
    They said that this adjustment would not be covered under the existing
    warranty. Is this correct? Would you recommend making the adjustment?

  5. You said your car is "newly purchased". If it's a new car, it definitely
    IS covered under the warranty! Refuse to pay for it and don't take
    "no" for an answer as far as the service goes. If they give you any
    grief, go directly to Hyundai Customer Service and complain. They'll do
    something about it.
