Ice screwing with Moonroof gasket?

Sometime last month we had a bad ice storm. It sound like the wind noise from the moonroof is way worse than it was prior to the storm. Should I try and replace the gaskets or would there be something else that I should look for as being the culprit in having more wind noise?

Take a look at the seal with the roof closed, is it torn or become loose anywhere? If not, look elsewhere. Sometimes a ice storm will cause the door weather strip to freeze to the body, you open the door and RIP!!! you just damaged a door seal. It is good practice to spray all the weather seals with silicone spray, that will help them not freeze to the body.Maybe ice / snow loosened an inner fender, a mud flap or a bumper piece. Sometimes hitting a chunk of ice will damage a lot of the cars plastic. Look under the front end, there are many plastic bits there that are easily damaged.Dave

I'll definitely check those out tonight! I'm hoping it's just weather stripping and can be replaced with less of a headache than any other issue.
