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 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 Gap Filler is manufactured using TPU shore hardness 95A. TPU is UV and weather resistant.
The kit is available in two sizes, one for normal gaps and one for large gaps.

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. Spraying a small amount of silicone lubricant can help.
- Insert the Gap Filler on the glass, making sure it snaps on the lower and upper channel.
- Pull seal back onto the Gap Filler until it sits flush.
