I don't want to give you wrong info but most cars usually have some sort of panel by the sun roof controls where you can manually close the sun roof with a allen key. Did you look in your owners manual ?

If it sits flush it shouldn't leak but you should buy the whole sunroof setup incase it's just not the motor
