Volvo's SPA platform cars all have the same flaw, the sunroof seal shrinks and leaves a gap where water and debris can enter the drain channels and clog the drain tubes. A clogged sunroof drain can lead to thousands of dollars in damage when the water seeps into the car's floor where a lot of electronics are housed.
The TPU Gap Filler offers a temporary or permanent solution to fill the gap left by the shrinking sunroof gasket and offers the following benefits:
Prevents large debris and dust from entering the sunroof drain system
Prevents large amounts of water from entering the sunroof drain system
Eliminates wind noise left by the gap
Fills the gap to avoid visual eyesore.
The TPU Gap Filler is rapid prototyped using shore hardness of 95A.

* For longer gap fillers. Please contact me and they can be custom made. Gap fillers can be cut in length using a sharp blade if needed.
Installation. Avoid removing the seal from the sunroof as it may be hard to put back in correctly. Instead, you can do the following (also shown on the video):
Chose the right size Gap Filler - Slightly longer is better
Push the whole seal back with your fingers, it'll move along the track.
Insert the Gap Filler on the glass
Pull seal back onto the Gap Filler until it sits flush.
