Default Need photo of a leak-free sunroof

Hey guys. I've been building something in my garage, which means I've had to park my A4 in the driveway for the last several days. Unfortunately, it has been raining the last few days, and my driveway is pretty steep.

At first, I had pulled into the drive with the front of the car facing up hill. Later that night, I discovered that the rear corners of my headliner were very wet.

We had a couple days with no rain, so it dried out ok. Since then, I've been backing into my drive, so the rear end has been uphill. It rained all night, and this morning, the sunroof shade was DRIPPING wet.

An audi tech told me that I was missing the "rear rain gutter"-like thing...

I need for one of you guys (especially 1999 owners) to pop up your sunroof and snap a photo of it. The photo needs to be from the back of the sunroof, shooting toward the front of the car.

Thanks...I'm so tired of getting wet from a leaky sunroof.

vgo, I appreciate your effort, but what I need you to do is POP UP your sunroof...then take a picture from BEHIND it. I need to see what (if anything) there is between the roof and the glass once the roof is popped up.

Yeah...B7 models have this thing that pops up and it's basically to deflect water and make it run to the edges toward the sunroof drains. Apparently B5s don't...so why the heck is my sunroof leaking so badly?

VGO, I can't tell much from those pics, but I really do appreciate you trying. Can anyone get me a high res photo of their sunroof in the same angles that VGO did?
