Default Sun roof

Hi all
Last few weeks ive been getting a bit of a whine getting into car I thought it was a wheel bearing but ive discovered its wind noise from the sun roof.
My question is is the glass roof easy to get out and is there a aftermarket seal available as i suspect oem one will be arm and leg

Thanks
Robert

I don't know about the GS but on my LS400 you just need to pop of the trim pieces inside of the car to expose the 4 nuts that hold the sunroof glass and it comes right off.

it doesn't look like you need to remove the whole glass to remove the seal.

just tilt or slide as necessary

i doubt you'll find an aftermarket one.
