    no its a common fault.... had it with my 106 gti...and my saxo vts.... and everyone iv known to own either a saxo or 106 has had it.... 99% of the time its your aerial leaking.... take your roof lining out.... undo your aerial and housing until u have a hole in roof, using a little black silicone gel seal it between metal on roof and black plastic. job done. the other 1% is if you have a slight crack in sunroof seal. hope this helps

    if you dont srt the leak out eventually your sensor for button will die... meaning no remote central locking and youl have to use the alarm reset everytime you start car unless u disable it

    No need to take the roof lining out to get to the aerial, just take interior light out by the sunroof winder, can get to it through there. May be a good idea though to take all out and cjeck where the leak is comin from for defo. Mine was from rusty sunroof drainage and was gettin in through a rusted hole. Just patched it up and siliconed it, also check drianing holes arent blocked, seal under sunroof (around the rim) I also done around the window to make sure and problem sorted.

    i ahd this and sorted it out yesterday. like said above take interior light out and put sealent around the areal nut. i went abit mad with the sealent and covered all of it just to be on the safe side (y) no leaks anymore though =]
