Suspected cause · Original poster

I noticed that the seal on the front side of the body is worn out, which is probably the problem, as the leak is at the front.

Has anyone any hints or tips to make the job of removing the old seal and replacing with new seal easier, or to achieve a better seal?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 1979 SC coupe sunroof is leaking a bit. I noticed that the seal on the front side of the body is worn out, which is probably the problem, as the leak is at the front. I plan to replace this seal. I see that seals are available to purchase. There are long and short versions. I think I need the short version. Does that sound right for my car? Has anyone any hints or tips to make the job of removing the old seal and replacing with new seal easier, or to achieve a better seal? I see that there is a Pelican Parts article on sunroofs. It mostly deals with the mechanism, though, and my mechanism works fine (if rather noisily). Migration info. Legacy thread was 10002

POST 2Original post

Check to confirm your leak first, Open the sunroof and poor water into the drain channels,(outboard of the sunroof tracks). ? There are four drains, one at each front corner that you can see, check these are clear and draining, (they exit through the pillars and are visible with a door open)then move the car with the nose uphill and do the same check, pooring water into the outer part of the sunroof 'hole' and see if it drains out (open engine cover, the drains exit by the rear lid hinge ). So if drains are blocked try some garden strimmer cord up em. The felt you mention does little more than reduce wind noise and lessen the amount of water coming in.

POST 3Original post

DO not ask for the "short version" the long one is the one "velvet seal" that comes in the front and the "short velvet seal" it is going to go at the rear. I know that because i had changed my rear seal after purchasing the wrong one several times. Remember ask for the "velvet seals" Salutations from Spain 911 3.2 year:1984 Migration info.
