Before you post read this:

All 4 drains have been cleared and tested. Drains flow well
All duckbills have been cut off. Drains flow well
Both rear drain channels have been sealed where the plastic end is riveted to the metal.
New glass seals and gutter has been on order for over 2 weeks, and has yet to ship.
If you don't have a sunroof, go brag elsewhere. but seriously, what can you add to the conversation? You're like First Class passengers watching the poor coach people walk by as you sip champagne.

I plan to install new glass seals, a new center "gutter" and re-align both glass pieces before I throw in the towel.

There is just too much water getting past the glass seal that it spills out of the channel, before it routes through the drains. I assume the glass is very mis-aligned, as I doubt its meant to work this way.

Has anyone been down this road and found a good way to stop the water from coming in? At first I thought I would never put silicone on it, but now I'm considering it, as long as you cant see it from the outside. I'd be perfectly fine with disconnecting the button for good at this point.

Go find a smooth CTS roof at a junkyard? ?

I believe you can get a new roof skin as well but obviously not cheap

Skin? As in the sheet metal?

Also, this may help.. dreaded sunroof leak

I’ve seen that, even posted in the thread. Happy bragging. Enjoy your champagne

Correct, there was a member here who had his hood open on highway a while back and it crushed the roof, he was able to order a whole new skin. I think it was like 400$ ish but obviously labor/paint isn’t going to be cheap. I’d contact a really reputable wrap guy as I mentioned in your other thread. It doesn’t hurt to ask if he thinks it’s feasible.

I'd wait for the seals to come in before posting here and asking to do something drastic

Are you anywhere near Hamond Indiana the best sun roof guy is there. He replaced my inner curtain on my 16 V for me at a far lesser price than the dealer. He is the man the reason I say thi9s is because you have to take everything apart on the inside to replace and that point he would be able to see what is wrong..
