Hi guys,

I just purchased a 316 2 door as it looked fairly clean. Thing is it has a glass sunroof which i never heard of before so think it may have come from different car as the switch doesn't seem to be BMW variety.
this is all fine but after heavy rain yesterday I noticed that there is a leak above the headlining near passenger sun vizor so there must be a seal gone or something but where to get a seal if I dont know the make!!!
Is there any other fixes that people have tried in the past like a silicone or something

It's called a moon roof and is possibly BMW.

The seal around a sunroof is a wind seal not a watertight seal.
