Leaking sunroof possibly fixed
Here's an update on my leaking sunroof. I noticed that the rubber seal had a "dent" in it where the small velcro patch on the leading edge of the sunroof was. Careful examination revealed (at least I thought it did) the water was leaking through the center where this dent in the seal was.
I removed this small velcro patch and repeatedly plied the rubber where it was pushed out, so as to make it completely straight. I can still see this dent when the sunroof is open, BUT, it hasn't leaked again!
I've even tried to spray a heavy stream of water directly onto the sunroof's front seal and it still held. I've also had the car out in some pretty heavy rain all day, even driving in it, without a single drop of water coming through.
Don't know if I mamaged to fix it, but so far so good.
As soon as I can find a replacement front seal I'll change it out..just to be safe.
