I've tried gumyfledge on the seals, no luck.
This is one reason I really wanted to be able to buy the vehicle without the sunroof...it's just stronger and fewer places to leak or creak! But, in the USA (and other countries), they don't give you that choice (the sunroof is optional in Germany). I would have liked the extra couple of inches of headroom, too (and the decrease in price!). Frameless windows on the doors are more prone to this as well. See what the manual says (or maybe the dealer) on what, if anything, they put on the rubber seals. A light coat of that may make a huge difference.
