1983 240d sunroof leak

anyone change out the seals on a 123 chasis sunroof? i can use some info and advice on whether i should try this or get a shop to do it. i am a commercial aircraft mechanic and can handle most maintenence but i can also accept reality if it ain't worth the trouble. thanks in advance!

The Seals can be replaced.

However, there is another issue that can cause leaks into that Car and that is if the Sun Roof Drains are plugged.
The Drains can sort of be snaked out.
