Default New sunroof!

So I noticed I had some wind noise on the highway coming from my sunroof. It was actual wind coming through the dry rotted seals around the glass. Well I got really lucky and a truck kicked something up on the highway and it went right through the glass. Called the insurance company and since glass is covered free in Ma, they shipped an OEM sunroof to the local shop. Got it put in this morning, and it is all quiet again.

Good news. No one wants wind noise issues and your LS should be quiet.

That's one way to get the seals replaced! The rubber on my sunroof is quickly deteriorating on my 2012 and I hope the dealer will take care of this problem under warranty......... If not, I will have to start following big trucks.
BTW! Now is the time to start "nourishing" the rubber with a product like 303.

Yeah I ordered some of that stuff, but intended to use it on the interior based on what I've read here. I'll now wipe down that seal as well. Thanks for the tip!
