Your sunroof has run off channels that route the water down the inside of the pillars if it leaks. I have a '91 coupe with a sun roof that is not 100% alligned. You can see that the water can get in there, but no internal leaks yet. I also live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains 80% of the time. If you are still leaking, you might want to check the run off channels and see if they are clogged.

Where do you have rust? Here on the west coast, rust is almost unheard of?

Im on the east coast..with it being a highway car and all the salt on the road, rust is common. My rust is near the back of the sunroof..but its comming off tommorow:cool: . Anyway..thanx for the post, it wasnt the rust that let water in, it was just what you thought..one of the drains was cloged. well actually the drain hose or w/e got kinked when i was doing the wireing for my foglights last week i must have kinked it when i pushed the wire up around the fuse pannel because its only clogged on that side, im fixing that soon too.

My sunroof leaks too. Water pools in the handle housing. No amount or caulking has solved it. My drains are not clogged either :(
