Default Leaking Sunroof

We own a '99 VX with a leaking sunroof. I assume the sunroof is standard among all Isuzu's, at least of this year.

We took the car to a good mechanic and friend to do some other work and had him look at the sunroof. Apparently, the Isuzu doesn't have channels to capture any leaking water and direct it down the window channels to the ground. He said the seal looks good and, because of a screw that was jacked up from a previous owner's attempt at a repair, he wasn't comfortable taking much more apart of the sunroof to see if there are any adjustments that can be made (had the headliner off, of course). Instead, he opted to put a wind deflector on the outside in front of the sunroof. My wife's okay with it, I think it's ugly. Regardless, the sunroof still needs to be repaired. If the car is at a standstill in a good downpour, the deflector won't be preventing any leaks.

Does anyone have experience with these sunroofs? Is it just a matter of replacing the seal (he said it seemed good - still flexible, not crushed). Are there any adjustments? Any suggestions? I will be taking it to a sunroof specialist next week.

Thanks in advance!
