Sunroof...

Sunroof...
Hey anyone else have this problem?
The metal edge around the glass in the sunroof is rusted and I'm sure it's gonna start leaking pretty soon. I phoned the local nissan dealership and 1000 bux plus for a new glass insert.
what the hell?
I talked to some junkyards and I can get the whole assembly, but the courier will NOT insure used glass during transport, so if it breaks, I"m up **** creek with no paddle.
anyone have any suggestion that are cheaper?
thanks .org

there maybe shops in the area that do sunroof that can do it for way cheaper than the stealership. here in MD (on of the higher cost of living state) it cost like $400 to install a sunroof on a non-sunroof vehicle, so i would hope that the same shop can fix the problem for less or just pay for a whole sunroof installation and have them do a new sunroof

get some sandpaper, smooth it out, get the rust off, since u say its not leaking yet, that means there is still good metal underneat hthe rust,
after u sand it down paint it several coats of some good black paint, i never done this but it seems like a good idea,
i bet they salt the roads like crazy in Edmonton cause u guys get lots of snow, here in Toronto its the same thing, lots of salt, but NO SNOW, haha

haha thats EXACTLY how i am man, i pay attention to detail and things like that really bother me
i once spent 3 days trying to figure out why a certain program was running too slow for my tastes on my PC, i figured it out, but never used that program again HAHA

yeah, I'm gonna have to check with some of the glass shops in town to see what the $ is gonna be like. Thanks everyone.
I'm sure that if I were to sand it down, it would just be in the same sit. in a year or 2 or three. I would have to take the sunroof out to do that and then put it back in. I might as well just replace it with an aftermarket one at that point.

I just noticed that exact thing yesterday after work. My plan is to peel back the plastic, sand off the rust then seal it with some black rustproofing paint. My rust, incidentally is on the front end on the underside. This should cost no more than $15 dollars.
