Hey guys, Ive got that leak in my sunroof. I've read some things about adding washes to latch? I'm not understanding how or where to do this. I'm looked at the roof and cant figure it out. I can unlatch the latch from the glass but it only goes up so far. The latch doesnt really have any screws that I can take off and add washers to fix. Am I just not understanding it at all? Are there any other fixes for this problem besides sealing it shut? The dealership wants 100 for a new weatherseal. Kind of out of my budget. Am I sapose to do anything witht he hidges in the front of the glass? Thanks ahead of time.

Hello,

My sunroof was leaking also and i tried everything i knew to seal it. I pulled the whole window out and found a small drain hole in the each corner of the sunroof opening. I poured a small amount of water in each hole and found that 3 of the 4 were clogged. I poured a little Draino in each and let that set for a couple of minutes before flushing out with water. This evidently worked because when I poured water back in, it all drained out rather than accumulate. I've had no sunroof leaks since. You might give that a try.
