2007 S80 Sunroof Gasket help!

Post by Skymongrel »

Our 2007 S80 3.2 has a hole in the rear of the sunroof gasket that is about 3/8 inch long! This gap can be seen from inside the car as well so it is a clear path to the inside of the car. Since I haven't seen any water spotting yet in the head liner I think the drain tray must be dealing with it.

Has anyone replaced this gasket/seal that can offer advice?

I dread taking the car through the car wash with a gap this big. I did notice that the headliner was dislodged from the trim in this area inside the car, so something is going on.

Thanks!

I haven’t had to do this on my S80

But I am aware of the gap (mine is small but if it gets larger I will need to fit a new gasket)

Here is a thread about replacing the gasket

Good luck

These car do not rely on sealing. They rely on drainage.

Good concept if one keeps the draining channels clear. You can leave the sunroof open in a rain storm and the interior will not get flooded.
