   If you don't use it could always silicone it shut from the top?

   I tried sealing my sunroof up with sealent, but with no joy. I had a small hole near the sunroof which needed sealing up - seems to helped a lot! I think my windscreen seal needs sorting next...!

   clean out the seal and dry it all. mine was leaking and after I did that it's stopped! worth doing IMO instead of spending your pennies
