93 GLS Leaking sunroof - Nick Shep
Afternoon,

I have bought a Proton GLS, saloon car, registered 1993, from a very well known internet auction site. The car has full service history and an old lady had it from new. I only paid £415 for the car with twelve months MOT, however, the sunroof is leaking, I don't want to remove it, is there a product that I can buy on the web, where I can put the tube into a caulking gun and fill between the glass and rubber seal and fill the drain channels, I won't use the sunroof after this, I just want to stop the leak.

Thank you for your help,

Nick.

Hi Nick

You could use a tube of black silicone. Just make sure all is clean and dry. apply a line of masking tape around the outer apeture and inner glass edge, fill the gap with the silicone, smoth over with a plastic spatula or similar, and then remove the masking tape.

Cheers

It could be leaking under the seal (ie between the seal and the roof), though!
