Hate to say it, but it looks like someone tried to pry your sunroof open.....and ripped the bellows in the process (and yeah, it's a bad pic, but you can still see that the "tear" looks more like it was punctured from the outside with a flat blade screwdriver)

mine was ripped by a hockey 
the parts guy told me it's frequently replaced and usually happens to people who seldom open their sunroof, seems the rubber/plastic material dries and crack? 
Easy fix, the parts are about 12$ US each side and you can change them or have them change it, takes a few seconds at most.

Had the same problem with my sunroof. Mine was the driver's side bellows. Dealer replaced it under warranty. I just checked the passenger side, and it's starting to show signs that it'll be tearing fairly soon. I figure when my car is in for service in Sept, I'll have them take a look at it and likely replace it.
Didn't think it would take only a few seconds to replace this. Looks like it'd be a PIA.

My was fine until the last sunny day in Edmonton after many cold months, I opened the roof and drove it. The last thing I know is it was torn at the driver side, I'll check with the dealer and see how much it'll cost.
