get some new weather stripping and make sure the latches are tight enough.... SIMPLE JACK...

yep, closed cell foam weatherstripping can do the trick - available in various thicknesses and widths.

silicone also works but smells like ass and makes a mess.

well before this the sunroof was previously broken b4 i got the car. one of the tracks was broke so if u wanted it open u would have to help it a lil. but since i have had the car when i had the 15s in it not tryin to brag what so ever but it broke another piece of the sunroof. somehow it snapped a piece of the sunroof off so i am either gona seal it up or go to a local junkyard and replace it.

since u know the situation now what would you all do. seal it up forever or replace it.

replace the rails and hope it doesnt get damaged by more vibrations.

cut some plexi glass for a tight fit and wrap the edges with weather stripping, Then if you need to, you can add deadner to the plexi and maybe cover that with a thin cardboard cover with matching carpet...
