I have a yet untested theory on repairing the sunroof seal. I bought a
section of soft latex hose form Menards and I plan on threading that inside
the D section sunroof seal to help push it back out. I have had the seal off
once before, but since they are expensive at best, and unavailable at worst,
I figured it may help make a workable and less noisy sunroof seal.
 Like I said, untested, ymmv.
