leaking sunroof rails

[bosango]

Hey there!

 

Water is seeping in under the tracks that the sunroof slides on my '93 Legacy. Quite inconvenient, as if I drive in the rain it looks like I peed my pants. The old gasket is pretty much disintegrated and pieces of it are being carried into the car by water flow. I'm planning on removing the rails, cleaning the surfaces, and running a big bead of silicon where the old gasket used to be. Any reason why this might not be wise? Also, my manual doesn't say anything about sunroofs, so I'm assuming the way to get at it is to remove as much of the headliner as it takes to gain access.

 

Thanks!
