Default sunroof windows for EF

What's the deal with the sunroofs on our EFs? I am having my car painted, so I want to replace my leaking and rusted sunroof window. Turns out that many of the EF sunroof windows have exactly the same kind of leak, and good ones are hard to find. Where could I find a quality one in good condition?

And why are these sunroofs developing leaks? Is it a gasket issue or ?

It's a EF thing , Your probably going to get fucked by honda like I did and buy one from them. Your right about them being rare to have NO rust. Hell we even painted the bottom of my new panel and last week I saw one very small rust pit showing through. WTF ?

what is it? is the gasket not sealing correctly?

Is this why they call the Civic Del Sols "submarines" for their notorious leaks?

maybe a new gasket will solve the problem..

leaks on the front edge, there was quite a bit of rust, hence my search for a new one
