When you look at the longer rear side of your sunroof, do any of you have a little gap where the rubber going around the glass meets? I have a small gap there (big enough to be able to stick the metal part of the ignition key in there (not the handle, though)). When it rains, some of the water gets in and ends up on the sunshade. I know that there are channels for the water to drain in the sunroof assembly (just cleaned them), but it does not look that the water from ontop the sunshade will get there easily, if at all. Even if it did, is it a good idea to have some water on the fabric that covers the sunshade from above??? I was thinking of siliconing it, but somebody suggested that it's there for a reason- to let a little water in and let it drain, which does not seem to make sense to me...

Anyone has any ideas? Should I silicone it? Or, if not, why?

Thanks
Roman

No gap here. Try the silicon route, or go to a glass shop to see if they have another idea.

the reason i have that gap is i had my sunroof repaired a while back b cuz it would slide back and forth n e more

since then they fixed it but htere is still a gap and it does leak.

NOTE THAT i didnt get the roof fixed at nissan

I doubt it should anything to do with who did it since I had my whole sunroof assembly replaced with the one from another Maxima. That's how it was made at the factory...
