Well while in PC last week it rained a whole day straight. All the days prior I was riding around with the sunroof open and closing it at night, the day it rained I was getting major water leaking in from the roof. Upon investigation I found that the back of the sunroof seal wasn't pushing up to the top of the roof and causing it to have water leak by...... I have to push the glass up after closing to make it seal completely. Does anyone have any ideas why it won't seal up? I'll post pics ASAP

No it does have the tilt but when it opens it goes down then slides under the roof, I tried tilting it up then closing it down and it still doesn't seal right? Idk if I need to take it to the stealership or just deal with pushing it up after closing it?.... I heard its very expensive when it comes to sunroofs...

Is it something with the track not allowing it to push up at the end?

It's adjustable. You have to slide the fan/curtain like black piece out of the way and you'll see some torx screws. Should be 4. It's a pain in the ass but you'll have to adjust and check, adjust and check, etc. etc. etc... Very small adjustments make a pretty big difference in clearance. Did mine a while ago because of the same problem.

My sun roof pops up and slides back, but I don't see it being too different than yours.

Mine was leaking from the pillar also. Clear your channels, front and rear, if that doesn't fix it adjust the glass to make a better seal when it closed.
