is it a glass or metal sunroof? And whats it sealed up with to stop you opening it up?  The metal sunroofs are not meant to be water tight round the seals - they have a tray underneath with drain hoses that run down the front and rear pillars - do a search on sunroof drain holes - theres loadsa info on how to unblock em

SHould be able to get a stanley knife or similar sharp implement, and seperate where the roof of the car and the original black seal meets - just slice straight down and cut round, theres nothing delicate underneath that you might cut through, just be careful you dont take a slice out your paint!

searches can be doen by pressing "search" up at the top mate  :lol:

Yeah the seals are easy to do, and are the same as a mk2 seal which usually work out cheaper.
