Welcome to Sunroof Doctors, the leading expert in diagnosing, servicing, and supplying premium sunroof seal components across Gauteng and South Africa. If your sunroof seal is cracked, dried out, leaking or letting wind noise in, we're your trusted source for high-quality replacement seals and professional fitment.
A sunroof seal—also known as weather stripping or gasket—creates a watertight barrier between your sunroof’s glass or panel and the roof frame. Even though drains help channel away water, the seal prevents moisture ingress. When worn or brittle, leaks, drafts, and interior damage can follow.
Common issues include:
Cracked or brittle seals allowing leaks during rain
Rattling glass or wind noise due to misaligned seals
Moldy or musty smells from moisture trapped inside
Moisture on seats, carpets, or headliner—or water stains after rain—often point to seal failure or clogged sunroof drains.
A poorly seated seal may fail to stay in place or create wind noise, especially at highway speeds.
Sunroof seals typically last 5–10 years depending on UV exposure and maintenance. Cracks, brittleness or separation from the frame are clear indicators it’s time to replace.
We perform a thorough diagnostic: inspect the sunroof seal, drains and surrounding frame. Blocked drains can overwhelm even good seals.
We source high-quality OEM or aftermarket sunroof seals and fit them precisely. Our process ensures a snug, void-free fit—even trimming and bedding seals as needed for perfect alignment.
After installation, we lubricate the seal groove using silicone sprays or white lithium grease to prolong flexibility and seal performance. Then we test for leaks and proper operation.
Clean and inspect sunroof seals every 12–24?months, especially in Gauteng’s UV-intensive climate.
Lubricate the seal annually with silicone spray to prevent drying and cracking.
Always flush sunroof drains to avoid overflow and moisture damage.
