I think I have finally discovered where my leak is coming on my california sunroof. The outer rubber seal has shrunk up slightly in the rear corners and was allowing water to come in. I temporarily put black electrical tape over the edges of the seal in back and the leak has stopped. I checked with the dealer about replacing the seal. The cost was about $600. I think I am going to lift the edge of the seal and put in a fine bead of silicone in using a medical syringe. I also found a leak in the seal at the top of my hatchback and repaired it by pulling the seal up and putting silicone under it.
