2009 C2S 50K miles

I poured some water on the closed roof and water drained into the car from two places around the panel. (It actually seeps in everywhere but two, two inche lines poured in unabated.)

Any tips? Questions:

- What brand/type of solvent should I use?
- Where to I apply the adhesive to? The leading metal edge or at all contact surfaces?
- How do I get the trim to match up tightly? Slide and work it?

About $100 with shipping from Pelican.

When the car leaked, a drip from the dome light, the car was canted forward in a parking lot and I suspect the inflow exceeded outflow rate and it filled up. So I figure I can decress the inflow rate by installing a new gasket. I checked the drains and they are clear.... I pulled the front wheel liners and ran some weed wacker line up until it came out at the sun roof.. By the way, it appears to be an odd design as the water drain hole is way high in the wheel well and just drips all over everything in there including an electronic module near the rocker panel gets soaked.

Of course I worry that I will make a bigger mess of it.

Hi Bruce, You have more than a gasket problem. You can replace it. Any old contact or rubber cement will do. BUT, there is a drain up there and it is plugged. No water should ever get into the car even with a bad gasket. I am not sure where the drain is and where it exits but when I have a chance I'll take a look at my car. JFP may know where it is.
