Sunroof gasket? S40-V40

2001 S40...sunroof leaks into car. All drains are clear. With the inside shade removed, I can see the water drip around the seal into the rear section of the sunroof. It then overflows the pan that directs the water to the drains. Seems like the sunroof gasket is too small, not making a secure/ watertight seal. Where the seal 'loop' meets at the center at the rear, there is a 1/16" space that water just 'pours' in.
Can this seal be replaced?

    The easiest way to 'fix' that is to visit a pick&pull yard and get a new glass. You will need to bring your T25.

    You could get some hot glue and carefully fill the seam. Make sure it is level with the material and not sticking out. Let it cure for at least 30 minutes and file flat.

    Or, Volvo sells a new seal and glue. It is a pain to get off and get the glass clean before applying new glue and seal. If you park outdoors, you might want to tape plastic over the sunroof while it is out of the car.
