99 Subaru Legacy Station Wagon Sunroof Seal Replacement

K

This one has me a bit torqued!! The seal on the rear of my sunroof is
shot and the sunroof leaks pretty bad. I have to tape it up when it
rains. The other 3 sides drain into the pan and drain out through the
drain tubes (this works!). The rear if it leaks drains onto the
sunscreen and then into the car. So this part of the seal must seal.
Now this seal is removable but subaru in their infinite wisdom decided
you must buy new glass to get a new seal to the tune of 6 or 7 hundred
dollars. I can find them at junk yards (none local), but none of the
salvage dealers will guarantee the seal. Grrrr.... Anyway, has anyone
found a seal that would work as a replacement on Subaru's? I was
thinking of making a trip to some local yards who have other cars with
sunroofs to see if the seal is close. Maybe some of the seals from
other Subaru's would fit.

Anyone ever replaced a seal and where did you get it from? Thnaks for
the help.
 
Seal is probably standard size among several auto makers. I'd go with
the wrecking yard seal. Even if the first 2 or 3 turn out bad, you
still are money ahead.
