Know its not the right time of year, but still checking car over after 2 days ownership. Sunroof was sticking a bit on opening, down to lack of use basically, seal cleaned and now working OK BUT noticed there was was water lying in surround and hinges on air deflector starting to rust. There appears to be drains from the surround at the the front, can anyone confirm where these come out as they seem to be blocked. Thanks John

Ok, had a look at drains today and all seem clear. However, discovered seal on sunroof has ripped where the join is at the back, hence original sticking problem. Next question is can they be replaced as the seal only, or will sunroof panel need replacing?

Hmm... mine's dodgy too. You could just replace the seal, but if you take it off (like I did) you will more than likely find that the metal on the roof panel is rusting (like I did) I managed to get a whole replacement panel but have yet to find the time & weather to tackle the job. Not sure about anyone else, but it seems to me that the joint in the seal would be better at the front of the panel.
