Sunroof Delete Panel—Best Ways to Avoid Leaks

[Fresh1179]

Hey Guys,
I had a ton of work done on my car over the winter including a bunch of welding that I cannot do. A “while you were in there” thing I had done was a sunroof delete panel and removal of the headliner (because, well, track and a humongous dome) during their work. This is one of those things I kind of wish I had just left to my own devices and done myself (don’t get me wrong, they are an incredible shop) They are going to re-install it in a week or so and I want to be armed with the knowledge to prod them with some technique. I went through a car wash and it was like ‘Nam. I have the S2R Tuning panel because of the reviews. Any suggestions?

I used a couple beads of 3M 08609 Window-Weld and its worked really well. No leaks so far and the stuff is really strong.

Alex from S2R recommended RTV Black. That's what I used. Clean up was easy enough. Video on the Rightfootdown YT video below, start at 6:25'ish

After considerable research:







Then scraped perfectly flat with a credit card to remove any excess and make it conform to the shape.

That install and fitment looks clean. What brand did you go with?
