97 960 aka V90. well it was a rainy day in Mpls today and despite having the dealer "repair" my sunroof three weeks ago (adjustment/clean drain holes, so they said) I still got a the drips on my head. I immediately stopped to look at it and it looks like the gasket is waterlogged and the sunroof is not leaking per se, but the gasket is sopping up water like a sponge and water is being transmitted in like water flows through a sponge. so the question, has anybody tried putting silicone spray (think boot waterproofing) or some other waterproofing goop on the gasket to prevent this. I have replaced a gasket before on my '86 760 and well, once you factor in the weatherstrip adhesive, well, it was a goopy mess that I was not proud of. but it still does not leak, but then I never open it!! Also, what is a fair price for gasket replacement.
