That sucks. I've heard all the aftermarket t tops and sunroofs leak. I'm not sure on a solution maybe a junkyard sunroof and just some new weatherstrip?

I have an aftermarket sunroof as well. It's not even remotely similar to the factory sunroof. The factory sunroof has the proper channels and reinforcement stamped into the panel, aftermarket kits usually consist of cutting an opening in the hardtop.

Try to look around the sunroof to find a manufacturer's branding, or name. Otherwise, go to a local auto upholstery shop and see what they have. Certain generic weather stripping can likely work, there are literally hundreds of weather strip molds available. You'll need the weather strip "profile" to shop for a replacement.
