   apparently its a common problem, mine done the same, changed the aerial base due to snapping mine off in car wash oops, stuck a lump of towel up under light after i changed it, seems to have worked.

   when my aerial leaked it came through the interior light, so i took the aerial base off and filled it with sealant, sorted =]

   Its either the Ariel in which case follow advice above
   
   Could be Drainage pipes are blocked in which case you need to take the front of the headliner off to get at them. A secondary problem can be because of standing water, the water has begun to rust through the sunroof channels in which case its sand down and plug the gap
   
   If its the passenger side thats blocked (easy test, just open sunroof and poor water down drivers side and passenger side channels, if it drains away, no problem, if it doesnt, that side is blocked) put about 20mm worth of spacers on the bolt closest to the bonnet release catch.
   
   Think thats everything covered....
