I have the worst leaking sunroof and I dont know what to do with it. My only real option right now is to seal it off with some epoxy, because of money reasons. if you guys have any other cheap ways of fixing this problem please post. I really would not like to seal it because summer is coming up and no AC, and the sunroof is nice. Thanks http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Is it closing evenly on all four corners? Sometimes it just needs an adjustment. Other than that, usually the felt seals are to blame, and they run about $60 for both.
Good luck,

Yea it is pretty flush in all four corners, and $60 is to much for my budget, thanks for posting.

what about the drain pipes...are they clogged?

Actually, that is a good suggestion, I totally forgot about that. If your felt seals are in decent condition (i.e. - one piece), and you are getting tons of water on your head, then the drain tubes are most likely the cause. Find someone with an air compressor, and blow through the tubes from inside the sunroof opening.
Also, the tubes could have come disconnected, which will do the same thing, especially if you are parked downhill and one or both of the rear tubes is disconnected.
Good call mk1, hope it helps,

If you are carefull, you can use a coat hanger to push through clogged lines.
