Auto body repair & detailing: Leaky Roof Rack, ford escort wagon, leaky roof

Question
95 Ford Escort Wagon roof rack is leaking.  After asking around it appears that the headliner needs to be removed to seal leaks. Too expensive!! Any other ideas? I tried squirting silicone down in there from the outside, didn't help.

Answer
Sorry, Gwen, but leak repair can be tricky and expensive to repair- especially in the case of 14 year old cars. It could very well be leaking from elsewhere- that's why they take down the headliner- so they can water test the car, and pinpoint the leak. Bill
