Ok, so I'm a little peeved right now but thankfull the car didn't give in.
Someone attempted to break-in my car via the sunroof today. Thankfully nothing else was damaged but the rubber seal around the sunroof and where the rear glass and trunk meet.
Any idea if this "seal" is replaceable? It looks like it comes right out. I think I'd have to remove the sunroof to fix it too.
Picture of damage

Are you sure it was a attempted break in?
I remember seeing a member here who has a bunch of birds perched on his car and pecked at it and his rubber trim looked EXACTLY like that

What the..... The damage looks the same. If I didn't see pics then I wouldn't believe it. OP if there is no other damage except for the rubber seal, I would say it's the same thing. Did you see any scratches on the paint?

i see alfred hitchcock is back filming his sequel.
OP, i don't even think that seal is replaceable. i mean, think about it. how would it be? it's fused onto the sunroof glass.
i had to buy a whole new sunroof glass piece for mine. i don't see how it's possible to replace just the rubber stripping.
oh yeah, post up one of those wal mart fake owls near your car. owls are badass...and the birds will be afraid of it.

My first ricer

I have one next to my front door and the car is parked a few feet away. No bird attacks yet. In the past I had birds under the hood of a different car. So I guess the owl works, so does my elephant repellent.

Just need to take out 4 T-20 screws and out comes the sunroof glass, then just reverse the process.
Check it out (next post)
