Hi,

Has anyone sealed off the sunroof in an e30 to prevent water water leaking into the cabin due to rusty sunroof drains? If so what did you do?

Thanks.

If there's rust, it needs cutting out. Even if you "block it off" it'll fester away until the whole roof is gone.

Roof rust is usually terminal in an E30. What you CAN do is replace the sunroof cassette:

or replace the whole roof like x-works did:
