Hi everyone.

My sunroof is leaking and I've verified that it isn't plugged up drainage holes.
About 2 years ago I replaced the gasket that runs around the sunroof itself.

I believe the issue now is whatever sealant/glue that is around the glass and the metal frame that you screw onto the rails with the four bolts has failed.

I want to know if you all have any suggestions as to what I should reseal it with. I figure I need something that is okay cooking in the Florida sun and can handle 30 F degree winters, but my primary concern is the high temperatures this compound will see on the roof of the car.

The plan is to remove the sunroof off the car, to remove the rubber gasket around it, to reseal the joint between the glass and the metal, to put the gasket back on and screw it all back onto the car.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!
