Default sunroof fix options?

so my sunroof is a joke at this point...1992 with over 200k. its loose,wind noise..plastic pieces have broken that go around the interior of it...when its back,some of the rivets that hold down a strip are missing...and it rattles when driving down the road..im tired of it. wish i could buy a whole insert or something and be done with it. any suggestions?

Do my seal fix on it. I'm sure they put all my good stuff in a sticky. Also if you get the used parts just do what ever rebuild they need to tighten it all up.

Use Silicone on the outside to seal it shut. Unplug the connector from the inside switch and pretend that your car never had a sunroof. I honestly wish that my 1993 LS400 did not have one.

The very bottom right picture has some pointers pointing to the proper place for wire tie.

Anyone have a link to a time machine so Python can go back 25 years and get the sunroof-delete option on this car?
