Stuff is great... used it on my 2001, even when I sold it, the rubber on the doors all felt like they were brand new...

It is hard to believe that the gasket is built into the glass and not replaceable on it's own.

Of course, if you are significantly out of warranty, then obviously all bets are off.
Hey everyone, resurrecting this old thread, since in early 2017 I ultimately had the entire sunroof along with the glass and obviously seals replaced at a notable discount, since the car was still under warranty and very low mileage.

Lo and behold, a mere four years later and very, very little mileage later (car was garage kept whenever not actively being driven), the exact same issue has returned on the new/replaced sunroof. This shows that the issue is basically a design flaw. The car has not spent much time in the sun at all, and has spent zero time in the snow. No leakage is notable yet, however.

Thought I'd share this update.

I'm planning on just filling the cracked/ lifted area with black exterior silicone or poly. Mine is 15 years old and is going out badly and quickly.
