   Ello der.
   
   Last month my sunroof sort of blew out and smashed whilst I was driving along. Scared the absolute SH*T out of me. Anyway, I replaced the whole sunroof, including the surround and everything from a scrappy.
   
   Now, the sunroof leaks but it doesn't come through underneath the surround, the glass itself doesn't shut properly. It looks like it should lower another centimetre or so but it sits really high and it wont turn any more no matter how much force you apply.
   
   I never had any problems with leaking with the old sunroof so just wondered if anyone had any ideas because I'm pretty baffled :s
   
   
   
   Cheers, Scott

   Must be becuase your glass isn't flush against the rubber seal.... For the reason for it not closing, Are the runners in good Cond? nothing blocking them.... Just chucking in some wild answers

   Rubber seal? I don't think I have one lol..
   
   Does anyone have a photo of what it looks like because that's probably the problem.
   
   
   
   
   Funny story, I went through the hand carwash and came out wetter than I did on the log flume at alton towers.. I had polish people laughing at the wet patch all down my left shoulder
