Leaking Sunroof

Hi folks

I have a '96 Mini (originally Spirte) with what I assume is a factory sunroof. It's one that tilts up and with rubber type surround/seal.

Anyway, after the cold weather and heavy snow we'll hjad down here in Cornwall the seal has given up and I sat in it this morning to find the driver's seat and dash soaking! Not Funny!

Has anyone got any good tips or advice reagrding re-waterproofing the seal and future care - never had a leaky sunroof before so have never thought about it until now!

Any advice gratefully received - thanks in advance.

P.S. I had to laugh when it did snow. I have a Rover 45 as well, which we attempted to go and pick the kids up from school as the bus had broken down. There's a huge hill in front of our house and could the Rover make it up? The hell it could, slid all over the place! I had nearly given up when I tried the Mini and bless her - she made it to the top without a hiccup! Definately very grateful for that little car!

Well my roof leaks as well..

Simplest way is just to put silicone on it, and close the window, that'll seal it. You can just pull the silicone off in the summer.

If you want to be able to open and close it, put butter or oil on the window, let it try, then you should have a new seal.

Or just go to a junk yard, and take off the rubber seal, if its not worn out.
