Default The dreaded front and rear sunroof!

So after reading some older posts on these 2 little buggers. Mine have decided not to keep the water out!
so I'm taking the plunge and sealing up both sunroofs with sika flex and putting a clear 3m rap over them also.
Then got to tackle the sagging roof linning!

I feel your pain. I have a garvin rack on mine, so I simply put a sheet of plywood up there. So far so good........

I had the wilderness rack on mine with a 1/4 in thick sheet metal floor. Never had an issue with rain as long as it was parked!

The sunroof gasket was never intended to seal out water. The problem is that the water passing through the gasket is supposed to be carried away by some plastic plumbing, which has failed. If you're taking down your headliner you will have the opportunity to correct this. Otherwise copious amounts of sealant will likely do the job of keeping the water out. Until they don't anymore. And that approach is difficult to reverse.

Your so right, I’m getting a liner done now and I’ll be tracing the leak this weekend , I poured water in the sun roof drains and 1 seems to leak, I had a guy locally print 4 drain caps for 35 bucks ,and will have a go at gluing them in with epoxy , sigh I hope that fixes it .
I’d read that the whole sunroof pans stuck down with double sided tape I hope it’s not leaking there as well
