Leaking sunroof, cheaper solution than Mazdatrix sunroof seal?

I noticed earlier today on my way to work that my sunroof has formed a very small leak, and of course I want to fix it before it gets worse. Is there a *good* fix to this other than spending 130 bucks on a new seal? Just looking at my options before I purchase it.

I have a bit of electrical tape covering it now just as a band-aid until the part gets here since it's supposed to rain a few times this week. I'm just going to order the part, no need for another ghetto FC on the road.

Generally, the cheaper the solution, the more "ghetto" rigged it's going to be.

Duct tape = $4
Silicone = $5
Cut up some rubber = $6
New Seal = $more

Do it right and silicone can be a permanent fix if its just one part of the seal thats bad.
