Default Roof warp: Sunroof fit.

I noticed some air noise when I took to 02 out the other day -- not shocking as I did not replace the large sunroof panel. But -- looking closer I noticed some light coming through the back edge with the roof closed. I know people say the seal is not water tight -- but light coming through?

The funny thing is the roof looks to have a slight upward bow to it -- my other does not. Strange right. Not sure how to go about "adjusting" .. maybe sit on it. The edges of the sunroof panel are about level with the roof .. the center is not. I believe it's the roof .. not the sunroof panel.

Assuming the sunroof mechanism is in its "rest"/closed position correctly, the sunroof panel mounts to the mechanism using 6 screws. The thru-holes in the mechanism allow for a bit of adjustment range in the panel, so you could try loosening those and moving it around slightly. Don't think that will help with the bowing, but it'll let you center the panel and maybe close that air gap a bit.

Yes - I'm going to play with it when it's lose. It's never been touched -- and the roof seems to be correct in the corners. Maybe .. sit on it
