Default sunroof rubber sealant

guys,

I just observed today that one side of my rubber sealant for the sunroof seems to be a bit higher, i.e., not completely flushed when you stand next to the door and my eve level is looking at the sunroof. (I believe I didn't see this before).

Did anyone else ever experience this?

thanks

Never seen it before on an LS, but you may want to try popping open the sunroof at an angle, and kneading the rubber stripping of the sunroof evenly. It sounds to me that the adhesive part of the rubber is giving away soon.

I just checked my new 2005 LS430. The gasket is evenly flush all the way around. Let your dealer check it. They may put in a new seal for you.
