It sounds like an aftermarket unit! I'm not sure why anyone would install a sunroof in a convertible K5 of all vehicles. I think that in several states, you could legally fist-beat the previous owner for that butchery. I'd try a body shop and see if they could fix the seals; they should shoot you a free estimate anyway.

My '90 K5 has a sunroof that was installed by a body shop that specializes in sunroof installations. Many dealers send new cars there to have sunroofs intalled. Mine has been in since the truck was new in '90 so it's 16 years old. It has never leaked, and in fact the handle broke about a year ago so I called the company that installed it and they still provide parts and service for it. All that to say I'd find a reputable company and they should be able to get you fixed up.
