   chances are if that where its coming from it will be your areal base mate
   otherwise there is a guide on here to take headlining off its not hard aslong as you have the right torx bits do a search mate.

   If not the aerial base, more than likely a dodgy sun roof seal, and failing that, could be that the roof drainage pipes are blocked causing a build up.
   
   theres rarely a need to remove the headlining to sort any of these problems.

   Will 100% be a leaky aerial base as that's right above the interior light. Pop it with a screwdriver, loosen the nut, remove aerial, seal with something like silicone etc, then re-fit.

   i had the same problem,i did my aerial with black silicone and also black silicone'd under the the lip around the sunroof where it meets the paintwork.I removed the rubber seal and cleaned between the glass and the plastic and everywhere else i could see.No leaks since!
