the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have the
sunroof checked at an authorized Mitsubishi

(black rubber) around the sunroof opening. If
it is waxed, the weatherstrip cannot maintain
a weatherproof seal with the sunroof.
After washing the vehicle or after rain be
sure to wipe off any water that is on the sun-
roof before operating it.
