jonny our son...the inner seal is 35 quid, the big fat one is 65 or soemthing. need to take the headlcloth back a bit and unscrew the sunroof. 10 nuts, then scrape all the old kak off it, fit the new inner seal (no more than a draught excluder) fire some black silicone around it too inside and fit it again!

i done it about a year ago

my inner seal is grand mate and the outside seal (if you mean the plastic trim which joins to the car roof on the outside) is (wait for it).................£284 plus VAT from reno!!!!!

you wont know about the inner seal(35ish) unless youve had it out? the big fat rubber bit is what i mean by the outter seal(65ish). apparently the frames (284+VAT) are prone to warping and reanult also quoted me that amount...nearly paid it until i was told to silicone it and that would stop leaks and rattles...he wasnt lying either!

Clean the seals with dreft (fairy called in the uk not?), dry them and spray them with a silicone spray. Leaking will stop.
Did the trick on my, dealer told me to do it like that.
