You can seal it with silicone like the previous owner did to my 89LS. Problem is that because of dirt, heat, etc, even that doesnt last long.

To do the repair properly, the headliner needs to be dropped, the sunroof assembly removed, cleaned and new seals put on. I bought new seals for mine about 2 years ago (approx. $120 for both IIRC), but still havent gotten around to installing since she's still on jackstands on another long term project.

I'm a big proponent of doing it right the first time. However I do realize that time and budget are not always on our side with these rigs. Just realize if you do use silicone it wont last long. Esp. in FL. I'd be suprised if it last 1 season.






For MudRaider: If your serious about wanting a sunroof, I did save the whole assembly from another 89LS I parted out a few years ago. I cant imagine the pains you'd go through to mod a non-sunroof rig to accept a factory unit. It's not as easy as cutting a hole! You'd need a motor yet too (I sold the one from the parted 89), but I have a control head for it. You'd also need new weatherstripping for it.



Best of luck,
Jim
