My sunroof seal leaks in heavy rains (and car washes) Do you think this could help? 1998 BMW 740i

Bmw's are notorious for getting their sunroof water passages clogged hence the reason your sunroof might be leaking. Even if you have a heavily worn sun roof seal the passages should still channel the water. BMW's design make it easy for these passages to get clogged with crud and leafs easily. Check these before buying a be seal. Adding this rubber lubricant and protectant would not hurt any way and you can use it on your doors and trunk as well as the engine bay seals

It depends. If your sunroof's seals are dry, cracked, deteriorated, probably not. If they are still in decent shape, but in needs of cleaning and lubrication, it might work. I bought the product to maintain my 2006 BMW door/window seals and it does a very good job.

It might be worth trying, though I am unaware of it helps cracked seals, mine were only dried out & softened with this product. A less expensive option if it works for you, compared to just replacing the entire seal.

Try searching this: VW AUDI EOS A4 CONVERTIBLE TOP SEAL LUBRICANTIt is to bring seals back to life if not too far gone. I just ordered some and will post a review if it works for me. good luck

I don't think so, this is just a rubber protector and conditioner. It helps to keep rubber from drying out. Sounds like you might be beyond that. But you might give it a try if the leak is not to bad.

This is only a conditioner. I don't think it will help you. As another person said, the drainage channels are most likely blocked with dirt and debris. Find out where they are located and then find something to "snake" them clean.

No,as it's on the top of the car I'd recommend silicone. Where as with this product you do have to keep reapplying it to keep the seals from drying out again. Hope this helps you; however this is a great product as far as I'm concerned but not for a sunroof.

This is generally used to keep rubber, window trim, door trim, hood and boot rubber trim supple and prevents drying out and cracking. My understanding is that it isn't a sealer.

It worked wonder for me. The rubber weather seal around the car windows were rough and discolored (looked faded gray-white-ish). I cleaned all the dirt with Meguiar's D10101 All Purpose Cleaner (10:1 diluted), then applied heavily 4, 5 coats of this. The weather seal did get soften quite a bit; but the most important thing was that I got rid of that old faded unsightly color, now they look shiny deep black.

It will seal it permanently. If you follow the instructions on the bottle, you will be fine. It definitely worked for me. I had water coming from everywhere in my block. I thought my 94 Toyota LandCruiser had seen its last days. This stuff is like CPR for dying motors.

I don't use a roof rack and gaps in doors are sealed by my cars weatherstrip, never had an issue in heavy rain. Keep straps tight and a half twist in them and they won't "sing" at higher speeds

You must have gotten it wet. I had to let mine dry out for a couple of days "didn't drive it in the rain/ran over puddles". Put keeping it on could lead to even more worse problems down the road.

yep, sure does. fixed that and leaks around a skylight window also. been 2 years now with no more leaks.

That depends on your Vehicle's windscreen, the speed you are traveling, and how heavy is the rain. If you are in a full airstream your jaw and throat are going to be in the weather. The glasis beads well and the forehead seal works well , nothing leaks onto my forehead. Back of the neck gets wet, I use a neckerchief to make the seal around the neck and absorb the water runoff from the helmet.

I don't know how you will apply it but it seals small openings very well. A leaky windshield would be best sealed by cutting the old molding out clean the surfaces and replace with new molding. Windshield replacement companies can do it quick and for less than 100 bucks.

Zero problems with rain or car washes. I also live in the south where my car sits in the hot sun for many hours at a time, and haven't had any issue at all!

The quality is very good, mine does leak when it rains or I wash it. I would look into getting new ones or see if you can get thicker weather stripping.

The responses to these questions seem to be about engine leaks. This product if for radiator leaks correct, and how long will this solution last?

Depending on the age & where it's leaking from you may be able to have the seals replaced. I wouldn't put much $ into repair though. If it's not very low cost just replace it.

I get maybe a few drops of water under the top when I go through a high pressure car wash just between the tailgate lip and the cover... other than that it appears to be near 100% water proof... normal rainfall seems to be kept out pretty well

Well, I did not have water leaking into my vehicle , but a nasty wet, musty smell when I first air on. This stuff did not eliminate it. So I Googled my problem. Someone said spray Lysol disinfectant into air intake (by windshield ) with vehicle runn

Haven't have that problem. I've taken my car through the car wash five or six times no water and you have to make sure that the rubber Is sealed behind the light.

mine had no seal with it and i haven't had any leaks yet. used it all summer with a lot of rain , maybe it's your rubber seal that it sits on that needs replaced.

It stopped wind and water leaks for me. Two neighbors also had a problem and purchased the storm shield after they noticed my install. Tips: Layout the shield for a week or more before cutting/trim and using adhesive. It gives the rubber/ plastic a chance to flatten out to give the best fit. It came w/ construction adhesive caulk which I don't care for. My neighbor and I used silicone sealant and it works great. Measure carefully after layout before cutting. I saw this in Handyman magazine & I believe it is a good idea for a better seal even if you didn't have a leak.
