Description of the problem	I have owned my vehicle since 2008 at 32,000 miles, the sunroof worked great for a few years then i noticed that the sunroof would close passed the roof line of the jeep. I did not think of it much because i assumed that the jeep would have a secondary seal on the inside of the roof line, in between the headliner to keep debris and water out of the inside. This is not the case, it started snowing heavily and the next couple of days the sun melted everything away. I got in my jeep and realized while i was driving that i had water pouring on my leg and through the map lights in the center. By the time i got to my destination, work, my pants were completely soaked and my center console completely drenched. This being that the sunroof had nothing to keep the melting snow out of the vehicle. Sunroof is made with a faulty cog set that wears away too quickly. Instead of having to spend almost one thousand dollars as i was quoted in 2011 for them to place in a new cog made of the same brittle plastic. I choose to stop my motor from over closing, rendering the sunroof always showing up in scanners as open. However with me concentrating that the sunroof closes correctly i still have leaks in the sunroof. My jeep has to stay outside, meaning any time it snow, but i'm not driving, i always have to brush the roof off just the ensure i don't have the same issues. My vehicle now just passed 125000 miles. Since the issues i've had over the years, i've pulled up the carpet while cleaning the vehicle only to notice so much rust in the floor pans.. Thankfully i had thought to pull the carpet and have taken precautionary measures to ensure that my vehicle does not continue to rust.
