PT Sunroof Leak

[Don Bradner]

Ours leaked, and I had multiple people tell me no gasket available. Such answers
are often wrong, but depends on how hard you want to chase. I put a thin layer
of black neoprene sealant on the top of the gasket and cinched it down. We
weren't planning to open it anyway, and if we were laying on our side and needed
to kick it out, we could. It was also leaking a bit around the two bolts that
hold the latch. Undid those and put some of the same sealant in and tightened
them up. Been through a lot of rain since, no leaks.
