    Not even that. Since the seal is part of the sunroof, and since the seal fail, the sunroof is broken.
    Just had mine replaced by insurance. They didn't even ask how it happened. I just said the sunroof was broken.

    So you filed a claim on your insurance for wear and tear, and moreover the company paid it?

    No I called and said my sunroof was broken. If the seal and glass are a complete assembly, and the seal has failed, the assembly is broken.
    And yes they paid it.
    You can just call a glass company and they can file the insurance for you. They do that all the time.

    Had a Friday to myself and decided to piddle a little with the GX. A few hours of my time and $35 worth of paint and I think it turned out pretty well.
