Re: JLX sunroof seal.

Are you certain it's leaking? I had my sunroof in bits trying to seal it a few years ago in summer because I'd been getting dripped on in the winter. Turned out that it's condensation.

JLX sunroof seal.

Hi Guys.
My 1993 JLX sunroof leaks, I siliconed it last year and was ok but has started again.. Have had a look on line but cant find a replacement rubber seal kit?
Any ideas where I might get one if still available? Or what you have done to solve yours?
Cheers. :D

My auto LWB 1993 1.6 had a bit of a hard time with it, had to work hard on hills reving very high and eventually got a bit too hot so had to stop a few times.. I am certain the heat build up is down to me ...
