The large black gasket that surrounds my sunroof seems to be sun-damaged, to the point where one corner is curling up. Is that something a shade-tree mechanic can replace, and if so where would I go for information regarding how to do it?

Hi,

I'm not even sure that is something that can be replaced separately. Are you getting a leak? Have you tried adjusting the window?

Here are directions for adjustment. Let me know if you think this can help.

Moonroof Glass Position Adjustment

The roof panel (A) should be even with the glass weatherstrip (B), to within 0+1/-1 mm (0+0.04/-0.04 in.) All the way around, and the distance from glass edge to the roof panel edge should be 13.5+1/-1 mm (0.55+0.04/-0.04 in.). If not, make the following adjustment:

1. Remove the bracket cover.

2. Adjust the glass (A).
-1 Slightly loosen the screws using a TORX T25 bit.
-2 Move the glass up or down and forward or rearward.
-3 Tighten all screws securely.

3. If necessary, repeat on the opposite side.

There is also a drain tube that can cause leaks. How badly damaged is the seal?

Let me know.
