Quick easy question about the sunroof.

I was just wondering for the people who have the panoramic roof, on the front roof it has a rubber seal, and the back doesnt have a rubber seal but some furry seal, will water leak thru that? Havent washed my car yet, so just wanted to know.

Water won't leak through - and even if some gets past the seal, there is a drain hole for the water to go out through.

The reason the rear is "fuzzy" is because the rear sunroof does not slide, but merely pops up/down. The fuzzy seal actually seals better against the up and down, versus back and forth movement. It doesn't leak.

Just washed mine last weekend (for the first time). Had heard from various forums that the sunroof had the potential to leak, so I made sure to check it thoroughly and had absolutely no problem.
