Sunroof seal replacement

[flaatr at yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

There are two very large flat screws near the front hinge that adjust the 
rest position of the front of the sunroof, flatness to roof line... as long 
as you  don't touch these two screws, and you don't need to, the front 
should be ok... there are two screws on each side of this that big flat one 
that actually bolt the sunroof to the hinge, 4 total.  The back rest 
position you will need to re-adjust since you need to remove the screws 
here to lift the panel... this is easy to do and should only take one or 
two trys to get it right.

Bentley IIRC is very detailed on how this is done. If you are just 
replacing the seal it shouldn't take long at all to do... 30 minutes.

As Toby said use silicone to lube anything up there... lithium works great 
for a while but gunks up toooooo fast.
