Default Maint needed to be done. (Sunroof Question)

I need to do valve cover seal, brake light and constant squealing. And has anyone ever done the gasket on the sunroof? I thought it wasn't level with the roof, turns out it was and just streaming past the seal and I could see light in the drop of water.

Sorry but I can't make heads or tails of what you are saying or asking.

I have a leak, it comes from the sunroof and it is shut correctly. Has anyone changed the seal?

Default Should it be dripping in a lot? I knew about the drain problem, the A4s get that too.

I just didn't think it should be poring in like that. I seriously thought the sunroof wasnt closed all the way.

Default Tilt the sunroof fully up then get out and look to see if there's a black metal tray running across

.......the rear width of the roof. It will be angled upward as if to catch water that would run forward off the roof if you were to slam on the brakes.

These rain trays like to break and then get shoved all the way to the back of the roof. Once they are shoved back, the roof will leak.

The roof will also leak big time if you have clogged drains at the front or rear corners.

Default Ah, that must be what it is, the rain tray. I didnt know about that piece and I know its not there.

I thought it was referring to the ones on the side of the roof. Thanks.
