Leaking Sunroof, a fix.

Some of us SVC70 drivers get wet when it is raining and the car is not moving. It is not because the drains are clogged, but they might be. It is because the weather stripping around the glass is no longer sealed. Water seeps from the glass portion of the sun roof, under the black weather stripping, and back out again to fall in your lap or on the cloth shade. Not a LOT of water, just a drop or two.
I was planning to remove my SR last fall but it got too cold, too fast, so I just squeezed some 3M sealant (black) between the glass and the weather strip. It still leaks! I noticed rust around the bottom of the SR and knew it was going to be an all day job. Then MIJ posted with his leaky SR problem and I thought you might like to see this site:

A two day fix. The SR weather stripping can be bought at FCPGroton for less than $50. Try to find windshield sealant/adhesive to put it back on.
Lots of luck,
Klaus
