Sunroof sagging from one end

Hello all,

I was cleaning the car yesterday and noticed that the sunroof is sagging from one side. It's not huge, but enough to see that the glass is not flush with the top of the roof.

Any ideas what I can do to "lift" that one side up slightly. So far I haven't seen any leaks...

TIA

The thing with my sunroof is that it looks like the glass is flush with the roof, but the rubber seal around the glass seems to be sticking up somewhat at the front. Any ideas how to fix that? If I remove the shims it would probably make the glass lower than the roof.

The rubber around the edge of the sunroof doesn't keep water from getting in your car, so technically it shouldn't matter how 'flush' it is. There are drain hoses that keep water from getting inside your car. I had a clog in one of my drain hoses and water started leaking down the A pillar roof liner. Shot some compressed air down the drain hoses, and voila! Water drains perfectly.
