98 discovery sunroof leak for 4 months. Took headliner down today and drains are functioning. Leak is in back sunroof rear driver side screw on sunroof pan. Can I just remove screw add silicone and replace screw? Or more work needed?? Thanks
 
I've had this issue before and although the correct fix is to replace the seals as discool says, I have carried out a quick fix by gre adding the seals with a heavy duty clear grease. This softens up the rubber and creates a seal when the sunroof is closed. It won't last forever, but will probably get you through a uk winter.
 
For the glass seal, there's a few available via eBay suppliers.

For the frame seal a polyurethane sealant such as Silkaflex 221 seems to be the stuff to use according to the Forum your local hardware store may have it or similar

Now isn't that a shame, I thought New York was in Yorkshire.
Get the part posted to someone in the UK and for them to forward it on is an option, maybe..

If things get difficult for the OP find a seal I have one that I can send to New York, I purchased it years ago and so far have had no need for it as I don't use my sunroofs. l didn't won't them but had to have them :(
