Default Has anyone replaced thier sunroof seal and still had it leak? I have..

I'm wondering what else I could do to make sure the sunroof won't leak. The only possibility I can think of is that the roof is not stopped at the exact right position to seal (ie it's flipped up a tiny bit too far, or not far enough).

Also, I think there are drains somewhere under the sunroof in case water gets past that can get clogged? Does that sound possible?

This makes me wonder why I spent $50 on a rubber seal.

Default My CGT doesn't leak and I don't even have a seal on it.........

the drains are huge and all the rain just runs out by the rear 1/4 grills when it's raining.

Default Yep should be about 12mm drain in each corner of the sunroof cutout

fronts go down the a pillars in front of the door hinges, rears go down to the rear vent grilles.

Default The sunroof isn't dependent on the seal leak protection.

It's the drains that are installed around the sunroof like Supercoupe was saying. The seal is basically there for air noise and aesthetics.
