Default sunroof/moonroof

Is there anyone on the forum who can tell me of a place where I can get a replacement sunroof/moonroof rubber seal. Mine has dried out and is now starting to leak..

Thanks

Do you physically have gaps in the seal, like sections missing?? That seal doesn't really stop water from entering, it just keeps it at a manageable level. The tray then channels the water to the drains to be carried away. You may have drains plugged up.

A replacement seal has to be crimped with a special tool around it's entire perimeter to properly replace.

Cheers,

Here is a TSB for the special tool. It is a long painstaking process to replace and your hands get tired. The channel has to be bent correctly to accept the new seal. I guess after replacing several, you can become proficient and the task easier.

Take XJRGUY's advise and clear the drains.
