Over the past few weeks due to the heavy wind and rian we've bin having, i'v noticed a damp patch on the inside cover of my sunroof above the passanger side.

Had a quick look and cleaned around the roof edge to see if it was a build up of dirt that was stopping it closing fully, but that didnt stop the drips?

Time for a new seal?

Are the drain pipes blocked?

I thought that was the point if them so if the seals leak any water goes into the drip tray and down the drain tubes rather than in the car.

run some silicone grease around the edges of the seals -it lubricates the seals and provides a sealing surface
