Moonroof air leak fixed, here's how...

The moonroof had been allowing rushing air to lift it up towards the front and creating quite a noisy racket while driving. I had to keep the shade closed just to block out some of the noise. I finally made the fix:
1) Slide the moonroof backwards 1/2way.
2) Remove the 5 small screws securing the plastic trim piece to the front edge of the glass.
3) Pull down slightly on the trim piece (it has a small lip behind it) and push it back into the roof.
4) There is a Torx screw on either side towards the front of the moonroof that secures the glass to the bracket. Make sure these screws are tight and that the glass pane is pressed down as far as it will go when tightening these screws. Use blue Loctite on the threads as well.
5) Check that all the other screws towards the rear of the glass are tight since you now have the access.
6) Pull the plastic piece forward towards the front edge of the glass. You may not be able to get it to come all the way forward due to the small lip, so perform step 7 to enable this.
7) Slide the moonroof all the way backwards. This will allow the trim piece to fit back into the front edge of the glass.
8) Slide the moonroof forward 1/2way and re-install the 5 small screws into the plastic trim piece.
