80s pop up sunroofs..question

[steveo3002]

one of our fleet has a 80s style pop up glass roof

its started to leak but the rubber looks fine , I'm assuming its leaking between the frame and the rubber ?

i wondered if anyone has had one apart , and if they use a gasket , non drying windowsealant or sikaflex type stuff

i've taken them apart and fixed leaks with bathroom sealer before, whatever was laying about has done the job for me.

so its not likely to be stuck to the roof with any kinda heavy duty stuff?

[popuptoaster]

the inside bit usually unscrews and the top bit is stuck down with black curse word i found, don't remember ever having any issues getting them unstuck though.

One of my old bug's had one of these which also leaked, I lifted the edge of the rubber & packed it with vaseline.......Kept the water out a treat.

Use roof and gutter black sealant, if it's good enough for that it's good enough for a sunroof.
