Is your sunroof properly sealed?
I had some warranty work done on my sunroof and after I received the car back, I noticed more wind noise coming from the sunroof area.
To check the seal, I took a piece of paper and was able to slip it through (picture is easier to envision) in one area. took it back to the dealer and they kept the car for 2 days.
Received the car back and now the "gap" is moved to the front, dealer says that it is normal if some moisture get through (there are water channels visible) but it doesn't make sense to me, why else would it be called a seal?So long story short, I need to bring it back again but dealer is insinuating that everything is fine.
I will check the showroom model and see whether it is normal but maybe some some of you could do a check on your sunroof and see whether you are able to insert a piece of paper in between the seal and the metal part of the roof.
Thanks for checking

Thanks for checking. I hate bringing in the car for service, scared that 1 thing leads to another. Any W204 owners who could check?
