Sunroof owners chime in

Do you guys have any rust around the sunroof area? I had a car in the past that didn't drain water so well and it rusted a bit in there. Is the CT9A prone to that issue?

Also does anyone know if the sunroofs are different between 03 and 06 for example?

I have an 04 and no rust issues with the sunroof or surrounding area. I did have it replaced for being faulty though.

I guess it would be useful information if you can also add whether the car is parked indoors or outdoors to determine how much water/snow falls on it.

No rust. Parked outside during the day (it's my DD) except on weekends, always garaged at night. It's a 2003.
