Default Sunroof moves up and down when fully closed

I noticed today that my 99sc sunroof would pop up a tad when I shut the door. I noticed that I can push the sun roof up from the inside. Is that normal? If not , what do I tighten? Luckily so far no leak but I'm betting the fix is going to require the headliner removed. Gazi swapped interior to black and not all tabs are there.

Thanks - Sid

It does that since the doors seal shut so well. The sunroof isn't going to seal perfectly anyway; that's what the drains are for.

Mine normally does this too. Shutting the door pressurizes the cabin so the sunroof gives in. But never had a leak, but the drains are there. Even other cars, new ones, do this as well if theres no other way for the pressure to escape.
