OK driving the fiero today- in the rainy gloom (as you should know if you were in MN at all....) currently i am diving it about to work some buggs out of it. and well i have the sun roof (or moon roof or whatever) and i find out that when you stop real fast, stop real quick- take a turn real sharp and speedy- water from the rain comes in the cabin form the roof where the sun/moon roof is....JOY-

so what do i do guys this one is one i am not going to knwo or know were to start looking.

Sunroofs are a pain. I replaced basicly all of mine and did a few creative things before I got mine right.
If you can spend the money, it might be a good idea to just do it all at once and get it taken care of.

The rubber bits around all the mounting hardware falls apart. The inner rubber bits are D shaped and can be ordered from the Fiero store. The outter bits are round and can be substituted with rubber tap washers. These actually work better than the real thing.

The front hinges bend over time and put the glass at the wrong angle. It's a very subtle bending.

The main gasket wears/squishes and hardens. A new one is just a bit of work to put in, an old one can sometimes be improved by rubbing it with some sort of rubber-swelling oil.

The mount inside the car can move forward over time. Unscrewing the cover plate should clearly show if the latch has moved forward on it's bolts.

Some Fieros didnt have drain holes drilled in the corners of the sunroof cutout. If you pull up the outter corners of the sunroof gasket, you should find a small hole drilled there. If not, go ahead and add one yourself in each corner.

If this doesnt help, there's a few other things to try.

I ended up unscrewing the mount from the inside of the Fiero and putting a flat piece of plastic under it. This holds the glass tighter to the roof.
You can also move the assembly back more, though this isnt always a good thing.

If a portion of the gasket is obvously not touching the glass, you can lay something beneath that spot of gasket to raise it up.

With the hinge screws loose, it can help to put the sunroof in (without latching it) and seeing how it lines up at both sides. Then open it a ways and tap one side or the other to line it up.

Finally, after I had done all this, my sunroof still wasnt sealing. So I had a friend bring over a spare sunroof glass to compare with mine. Turns out the two were very subtly different in curvature. His finally let mine seal. So for $20 I bought it, and my sunroof no longer leaks. I assume mine had managed to warp in the sun or something.

I think the whole mid-US got rained on. I also found out today that my sunroof leaks, and even worse, the windshield leaks at the top. I can actually push on the glass and see it move. I'll probably have to take it out, clean it up, and re-seal it. Not looking forward to that.

thanx man the shoudl help out lots

sorry to hear about the windsheild man

If you don`t want to do a complete fix on it right now--there is a way to stop it as a temporay fix. Remove the seal, cut a tiny slit in it, kneed small enough rope throught it , to ballon the seal back up, that will put pressure back against the glass. Or remove the rear latch , the 2x10mm bolts holding the hardware, shim them & reinstall, this to will pull the glass down to seal & snug it tighter. Best to fix permanatley when time permits..As mentioned above..

You don't need to cut a slit in it to feed something inside. The gasket can be lifted out of it's track and put back in without too much trouble. Best to do it in stages. Or you might be able to feed something under it by lifting only a small segment. I think it's lightly glued at regular intervals though...

the sunroof seeal is only calked on the outer edge of the track it sits in. the corners shoudl only be calked to the body outter edge. if it is calked properly, you can lift the inside corners, and you have direct access to the tubes thru the gasket. snake a stiff wire thru to the other side to use as a pull, then pull some string thru. use the string to pull some soft tubing thru, find a size the causes the gasket to thicken. go completely around the gaske in one piece, and it should stop the leak.
the old friend with a hose can help you locate the worst areas.
