Hello, you guys...I've got a question and need some of your advice... There's a cracks around the sunroof of my mini cooper, it's not all the way around but will be eventually, which I want to prevent. How can I keep that from happening and to fix it?

That looks more like someone has painted the car with the roof still in place and you are left with a build up around the sunroof. Sand it back spot prime and paint then polish it all in

Oooohhhhh.... So that's what their called, I've been trying to figure out what type of sunroof it is. No, thank you my sunroof works fine no leaks or anything, it even has these little built in shades you pull, didn't even know until a few months of having it. Plus I live in Atlanta Georgia, so probably wouldn't arrive here in one piece....But....this is off topic, it does rattle a lot when I'm driving. So I don't open it, unless I'm on the highway. Is there anyway I can make it rattle less, minus using a tennis ball... Thanks for the offer though...

Yeah, I know... Geez, I don't think I've got the guts to try that. Guess I'm gonna have to start saving up my coins. Thanks for the advice.
