Where to get a sunroof resealed?

I have a '04 Clio. The sunroof is leaking, and probably the draining pipes in front are blocked. They need to be unblocked, but I also need the roof to be resealed.

Question is, would a normal garage do this type of work? Or should I go to some windscreen garage?

This happened to me, the rubber seal around the glass was pretty fecked and from what I read is garages only replace the whole glass as you cant get a new seal for them (it all comes together) so what i did was got a tube of tec7 a screwdriver and a few hours of patience, took the seal off scraped out the metal channel it sits in, as this rusts a bit, then filled it with tec7 and seated it back in and covered the seal with a bit of the tec7 aswell, hasnt leaked since!

+1 for tech7 but wear throw away gloves if using that stuff! It doesn't do any harm but its very messy.

Good point, I learned that hard way... still picking lumps of it off the roof of my car

doesn't damage the paint though.

Thanks for the tips. I'm in Limerick, but thanks anyway. I would err on the side of caution and try to get someone else to do it.

Go to a Renault garage as they will know exactly where
the problems that cause the leaks are.

Leonards by the Prison should be well able to handle this.:D
