[QUOTE="NickB, post: 320672, member: 13235"] The felt seal was to keep leaves and other rubbish out of the sunroofs tray, so they would struggle to block the tubes up. I have bought some p-shaped rubber extrusion from sealsdirect.co.uk and am going to glue this to the body of the bus. This will then allow the roof to slide forward up and under the seal, and stop most of the water getting in. The only problem I can foresee is that the gap at the back is still going to be open. So, I am thinking about a little water shoot to drop the water directly into the middle drain so it doesn't touch the bus. Not sure if this will work, but worth a try. Once you get the water into the drain system, it should be easy for it to escape. Hope that helps - gotta love trying to save a sunroof. [/QUOTE]
