I had the same problem before I replaced my sunroof. Problem for me was, I couldn't find new rear hoses (that or I was drinking at the time and just don't remember, anyway) so, I went to the junkyards and found hoses I felt would do the job.


Not wanting to remove the headliner again, I used silicone and zipties to secure the hoses. Might be overkill, but it's not leaking.


The rear tail light seals/gaskets are foam, compress, are old and need replacing.
Not just there yet but does this invlove opening the sunroof cos mine has the age old ailment of not want to shut flish once opened so have not opened it for years....
