They probably just arrived in Ohio--the land of opportunity and will start working a decent job so they can trade that car in on something better.
 
I guess I would use some fine twigs and clay, then add some Bounty paper towels mixed in a bowl of beaten eggs, with some added hair from two of my vacuum cleaners, pulled longitudinally. Let it dry 5 hours in the sun and add wasp nest outer sheathing with some fiberglass resin painted on, then flip it. Add more resin and let dry 30 mins. Then, while you have the fiberglass resin out add eight 5) gallon paint bucket stirrers 24inch x5/16 thick x1 inch wide) placed vertically so the 5/16 side inch wide part is facing up to the sky and the other is resting on the sunroof. This would make "the air flow director" 1 inch tall and the 24 inch ends are facing the front windshield and rear windshield. This will allow better directional flow of air over the sunroof. This will fix it correctly and it will not be a Mickey Mouse fix that we see in the first picture above.

Added Note:: I would get my Milwaukee 5 inch 36 grit grinder out and grind off that crap on the right door roof rail and leave it "as is" to get better "laminar flow" on the door roof rail.

Looking at it more, I would get a ball peen hammer as per "a golf ball" and hammer both front and back door rails to ADD to the "laminar flow" grinding job I did. The guys from the local "Meth Club" love the body work I do on their cars, I think this is what I am going to do in retirement, instead of working part time at Home Depot.

My plan was always tuck tape, if the sunroof started leaking, until I could fix it. I guess if the whole thing was smashed and I didn't care, then it would be sheet metal with some some caulking and couple dozen small self tapper screws!
