In this video I take you through step by step the process of finding and fixing the leak in my Audi A4 Avant (B8/8.5 // 2009-2016) sunroof. Once fixed, I take you through every painstaking step is of replacing all the headlining and trim components on the entire car. I show and discuss every detail on camera and talked through everything that was difficult for me to figure out so that you can confidently attempt this job on your own.

Whether you need to fix a rear drain leak or replace the headliner material, this step by step guide will have you completely covered.

This is the first video in my 3 part series on fixing a water leak in my Audi's rear sunroof drain. In the next video available on my channel I successfully fix the leak in the sunroof and then re-install the headlining and reset the airbag warning light on the dash. In the final video I re-install my audio entertainment system and give you an update on whether the sunroof is fully fixed after a very heavy downpour.
