I took my sunroof out because I had a black piece of weatherstripping hanging down beneath my sun blocker shade thingy. I saw that the strips were both off their grooves which are located on both sides of sunroof and run back towards drain holes. How in the world do I get these back on channel without taking out the headliner? Do I need them?

Hello, yes, yo can buy the rubber trim for the entire glass piece separately. It costs about $140 from the dealer. The part number I have is 9154194. As other have said, I spray mine with silicone spray a couple of times a year. this puffs it up and moisturizes it making it last longer, and creating a good seal.

Re the strips hanging down, I am not sure which parts you mean.

P700walk,
Not sure I can help based on your description. I do not have anything I would call a "gasket" on the sides of my sunroof ('97 960 wagon) The only gasket I have is on the back edge to keep errant water from splashing foward onto the sunscreen. This keeps any water in the rear channel and forces it to the rear drain holes on either side. You can reach that one if you tilt the roof backwards and reach in - or if you take the roof off.
If there is or should be some rubber on the sides where the sunscreen slides in the channel, my guess is that it is just to keep the sunscreen from rattling.
I've never tried, but I am sure I have read that the gasket on the glass itself cannot be replaced and you have to buy a whole new piece of glass. I keep mine dressed with Silicone lube to keep the leaks away and have also read here about using a Butyl (sp?) rope tucked under the lip to seal the top edge of the glass.
Sorry if that's no help - and good luck,
Mike

Hey i was going to submit a picture of the two weatherstips that are found along side the sunroof but I when i hit upload/select on the reply, nothing happens. Can someone tell me how to upload pictures when replying.

They are referenced in my alldata package and run front to back on both sides of the sunroof in between the headliner and roof. It looks like their purpose is that when the sunroof is closed and if water runs to side of glass and gets between sunroof gasket and roof these weatherstrips will direct the water into the rain channels. see this thread and it may explain what i'm talking about.

$100 for that thin gasket?
Robbery!
But then I looked in my repair parts list and find the weather strip, outer panel #9154194-6 listed at $134. That may be for the plastic part as well.

I need one as well, the furry one that wraps around the plastic trim around the glass. It has become compressed apparently, leaving a small opening for the wind to whistle through. I have adjusted the glass up properly but the moveable part is just a tad smaller than the opening in the metal roof.

Any ideas?
Can I pry the furry part back and add a thin strip of plastic to fill the space?

Thanks,
