How can we prevent mice or birds damaging our Volkswagen Touareg's sunroof seal?

We have found nicks taken out of the sunroof seal of our Volkswagen Touareg and also the windscreen wipers of both our Polo and Touareg. My son in law thinks it could be birds rather than mice. Have you heard of this, and any suggestions of a deterrent other than building a double garage?
