With this rain recently, my sunroof is becoming a nightmare. Its a tilt one, not the factory fitted slide one, now it looks like the metal 'frame' is corroded and the rubber seal has more the consistancy of a wet slice of bread, than rubber.
the water will come straight through in very heavy rain, and in light rain the water will build up in the rubber seal untill you get in and drive round a corner, then it all goes to one side and soaks it. Trust me, that rubber seal seems to hold about 13 gallons!
now I do use the sunroof in the summer, but if there wasnt one there, then it'd be cooler in the car anyway.
so what are the downsides/upsides to doing this?
less sun through roof = less sunburn?
less water through sunroof = no more getting a soaking wet arse when you sit in the drivers/passenger?
they can look quite good sometimes
I'll be doing it myself with tigerseal and rivnuts
currently i've put a strip of electrical tape over the bit where the glass meets the frame, all the way around, but thats only temporary
Im not even sure if I can remove it without taking the headlining off first
