Hi my sunroof is leaking on my 944 and all the drain holes are clear just wondering which seal should i change first the inner or the outer one that wraps around the sunroof itself as anyone had this issue before

Footykid - you read my mind.
My car sunroof is leaking also - Looking at the Porscheshop website there is an aperture seal and sunroof outer seal all?

Prices are: Aperture seal: £17.68 and the outer seal is £58.05 - GOSH.....

Am i right to assume that if the roof is leaking, then both seals need changing?

Firstly be careful the seals changed in 86 (I think) so make sure you get the right one, not every supplier knows this! The seal on the removable bit is the one that generally goes, although this is only a backstop, the drains are the first resort for removing water. I use a length of electrical flex to thread right the way through to make sure they are clear.

I think I paid around £60 from Bert a year or so ago.

when you say the removable bit do you mean the inner one or the one around the sunroof

The seal on the sunroof itself that you can take out.
