small leaks around sunroof seal

The seal is in excellent shape, but I have noticed at the rear corner of the passenger side there is a small amount of leakage(rain, carwash). Is there any adjustments that can be made? I thought the sunroof might not be seating properly. The seal is not cracked or torn.

It's my understanding this is normal as there are drain tubes in the channel that allow this small amount of leakage to drain away.

the drain tubes must be clogged. i've seen this happen. Try a wire hanger, straighten it, and try to clear it out before you start movign your sunroof.

If it's not leaking into the interior of the car, the drain tubes are doing there job.

You might want to try a fuzzy pipe cleaner before sticking a jagged wire hanger up there.
