Default Sunroof adjustment - help!

I have done a search and cannot find any info on how to adjust the sunroof in my '04 RX330. I posted another thread earlier about doing the reset, thinking that was why my sunroof leaks. I went through the car wash today - still leaking! The front of the sunroof is not flush with the roof, is down in front just a tiny bit. I think the glass is supposed to sit flush with the roof when it is closed. Does anyone know how to do this adjustment? I have the feeling it is something pretty easy, since the roof is so close to fitting just right in the closed position. Thanks in advance for your help.

There is a cover on each side that comes off and then there are 2 screws on each side you can adjust the leak is most likely your sunroof drains are clogged and need to be blown out

I see a Phillips screw, one on each side, are these the ones you are referring to? I did remove a bunch of leaves and junk from the front area too.

OK, so I used some compressed air and cleared the drains, looks like a lot of junk was there. My question is, should the glass of the sunroof be flush with the top of the car when the sunroof is closed?

Post a picture. Goes a long way to determining if adjustments are necessary.

It should be flush but that still wouldn't make it leak after you blow it out take a cup of water and pour it in front corners of roof with it open you should see it flow out of bottom of truck. Screws could be Phillips or torx. Just loosen one in the front and see if you could push roof up alittle

OK, so where are the two screws per side? Under the long black plastic piece that is screwed down with one screw? I don't want to break anything on the sunroof parts/mechanism, then I think I would be screwed!
