pluggin up a e30's sunroof drain

[e30 gangsta]

I did my lexan sunroof and water still comes in. I was wondering if there is a way of plugging up the sunroof drains? So that's no water will come in?

I'm confused. The drains that run to the rear of the car? Do you have a pic of how the lexan sunroof is fitted?

Search for pics and there is front drains on a e30.

pics of your lexan, is it a permanent flush mount, or does it run on stock sunroof rails? I'm sorry I just don't get how plugging the drains designed to keep water out of the passenger compartment solves leaks? Pardon my iggnorance.\

edit, found the post of your "sunroof"



If water is coming in, its because you used pop rivets and a silicon bead to make a sunroof. If you want to make it water tight, run a bead of silicone around the outer perimiter, and put drops of super-glue in the rivet holes.

All the pop rivets have been filled. And yes ghetto is the word for it. Ima redo it like screaming bmw did it, just didnt have time. Im not that much of a noob. I think its my winshield seal. Ima take out all the rivets and redo them ontop of painting it black. It will look much better. Something like this.

Yes, if I couldn't seal the sealant, and the rivets didn't stick out - it would look pretty cool!
