I feel like I’ll just have to silicone it shut once summer ends? I see some deviations in the rubber, maybe I’ll try plugging those first.

possibly a stupid question but have you checked all the drain tubes are either connected or not plugged?

Mine was leaky and it was eating away my paint so I found those spots, patched um up and now it doesn’t. No need for a new gasket.

What’s the car?

(Also I didn't realize you lived in OC. This is going to be my first summer there as a condo-owner).

Have you tried not driving it in the rain?

+1 to this one. My wife’s corolla had a leaky sunroof. Turned out to be the drains. It was pretty easy to fix too. Just a few minutes pulling the headliner down and looking around. You can find videos on youtube.

Make hole in roof of automobile = bad idea

Plug hole with silicone and disconnect power source.

I live in the PNW so that would eliminate a lot of days

Check them drains! I flushed the ones on the 4Runner and haven't had an issue with leakage since.

This is normally why sunroofs leak. Crap gets in the drain tubes, and then they can’t get rid of whatever water sneaks through the seals, so it floods into the car instead.

+1. I work in an aftermarket sunroof and leather shop and almost every single leaky roof I've seen was drain tubes.

My old legacy was leaking for years! I got a good chuckle out when I ended up fixing it finally. It took 10 minutes.

I’d go race car with it.
