wow this is the first I am hearing of this issue. I have no rust at all on the sunroof of my '03. Is it possible that some sort of seal is broken, allowing rain water to get in and sit there?

the seized calipers also seem to be a fairly common problem plaguing the 4th Gen.

Dang!! What are the car washes using in Florida....Saltwater?
My 'o8 sunroof has no rust at all. Just checked last week while cleaning the seals before the winter comes along.
May want to get a body shop to fix before rust gets much worse, Then try and get Toyota to reimburse.
