CarComplaints.com Notes: Although it has a stellar record in terms of vehicle problems, initially the 4th generation (2003 - 2009) 4Runner didn't earn our top "Seal of Awesome" rating because it received poor crash test ratings for rear impacts. However it's proven to have one of the lowest driver death rates out of all vehicles (not just SUVs), so we've bumped it back up to our top award.
So I noticed I had a leak in the car after it rained and the carpet was sloshing wet. I tried to open the moon roof and it got stuck and wouldn't open properly. The main issue was that there's a small plastic arm in the mechanism that has broken off. After getting the window back on track/aligned correctly I just super-glued the plastic arm back together and decided to never open the moon roof again. It's been leak free ever since.
