Replace the clip of a breaking car, if it doesn't solve it, it shouldn't be difficult to figure out why it's leaking. If it's the one I'm thinking of you can totally remove it, then clean all the seals of any moss and grit etc.
is it difficult job to replace manual sunroof to automatic on on mk2 facelift clio 2002
?
If its leaking you don't generally replace the sunroof you can pay renault to replace the frame/seal for £350 or u can remove and get some clear sealant and put it back in with sealant and that should sort it there is a guide on here
Theirs a couple things it can be that's causing the water leak.
First thing check the drains, tip water into these on each side, your be able to see little holes towards the front of the frame on each side. The water should drain an come out by the front wheels.
If the drains seem all ok, I'd probably say its going to be the seal between the frame and the roof. What we usually do is remove the frame, remove the old perished seal and then bond the frame down with mastic. That will all most definitely solve it.
I do these for £50
Saying all that though, if you removed a clip and now it's started surely that's your first port of call.

I also had the problem of a leaking sunroof and after hours of searching on the internet, I figured it had to be the seal around the sunroof so I spent a good few hours resealing the whole thing to find out it still leaked.
After looking at it again, I noticed the sunroof must be able to split in two halves or something?? As there was a seal all the way round and the drivers side looked as though it had been pushed in (the side that was leaking). I simply stuck some silicone in the gap and there hasn't been a leak since. It might be worth checking that out before resealing the whole thing like me to find out it was something so simple.
It's kind of hard to explain the seal that I'm on about though. The seal was in the drain runner area.

Hi mate could you link me to the product you use to seal please?
I don't have a link unfortunately as its supplied through work, just look for some waterproof type of mastic.
Okay mate, would clear bathroom sealant be okay?
