yes there is a gap on the sunroof seal. it is where the 2 ends meet and it gets larger with age.
now I haven't had one leak into the car from there, it usually leaked because the sunroof wasn't flush with the roof.

You need a new seal. And about the pushing down thing it is usually normal to push down a little, but not to the point of unsealing. You can fix that by putting on new shims or doing the sunroof rebuild kit posted in the stickies.

Start here first. Easy and quick to do. A sunroof drain is located in the trunk under where the antennae and jack is...
When yo find the 'Y' connection, one hose is for the antennae drain, the other is for the sunroof drain.
