Sunroof a problem? 200

Sunroofs of that age are going to leak unless the four drain tubes have been regularly flushed out, the felt seal has been replaced ($80), and everything is properly adjusted and no bushings are worn out.

Trust me, on our 90 244 my wife found out what sitting in a wet cloth driver seat is like and boy did I get it when I got home! Not only did it soak the seat, but the moment she hit the brakes while pulling out of the parking lot, it poured another pint on her head!

I would say, it will leak some time, she would say RUN, DON'T LOOK BACK! Note from my Wife: "If you buy it, caulk the sucker shut from the inside!"

My final recommendation would be to check the floor boards for rust, usually behind the driver seat, if rusty, walk away as it has been leaking for a while.
