   My sunroof used to leak, and because i was skint at the time, i bought some unibond bathroom filler and resealed the sunroof, worked a treat!

   Well the old seal that was there was breaking apart, so i took a key to it, took all that out, made sure it was dry and then resealed. (At 3am in ASDA carpark the night i bought the car)
   
   Its not the thick plastic you change, just the glue inbetween that and the glass.

   Take out the soft glue that is there already (inbetween the glass and the black plastic) then you should be left with a very small gap no bigger than the width of a biro pen... then get your sealant and reseal the gap, you dont need to touch the black plastic or glass.

   Take the rubber of surrounding the sunroof check for leaks if any there use a bit of silicone then re-attach.
   
   Get a alternator tester from maplins make sure your charging proplery for a fiver or go down to a mechanic and see what he says
