Thanks! I'll order that up.

This looks a lot longer than the piece which is coming off of my sunroof. My piece is maybe 24" - 30" long. Maybe they just cut it to fit or something?

This goes all the way around. Front to back. You cut it to size at the back. This is the updated seal as well.

Wait, are we all talking about the same seal. This is the seal that is attached to the body, And the glass closes against this. That is the link I gave you.

There's a little thin piece of metal that the seal attaches to. This piece of metal seems to pivot up and down a little bit when the pano sunroof is tilted open and closed.

The seal that's falling off looks a lot like the seal you posted - only mine doesn't have any orange on it.

I can try to get a better picture later today if that helps.

The orange is what you peel to reveal the adhesive. lol.

Yea get a better pic, I am confused what you are talking about that flips up. Take pics with it open and point to it with something.

Upon a closer and better look, that metal piece doesn't actually flip up. It looks like it's just a place to mount a seal for the back part of the window.

Here are a couple more pictures showcasing my amazing Windows Paint skills to point things out. :)

I'm thinking that part you linked to is probably the right one. Makes sense that the orange is adhesive backing. I didn't know if there was some sort of adhesive on the seal since mine is pretty dried out and falling off.

ETA: The first picture has the pano roof tilted open. The second picture has it closed. And it's looking toward the rear of the car above the back seat.

I have to look at my car tonight. The seal I linked is supposed to go around the entire pano, and yes, it should go where the first pic is.

I'll get back to you.

Bumping to see if you have more info yet. I'd like to get the seal ordered this week.

Bumping...I haven't ordered the seal yet because I want to make sure I get the right one. Any more suggestions?

Bumping after wanting to order the seal "this week" nearly a year ago?

The only seal on my pano roof is the perimeter seal. Which I replaced.
