   9 times out of ten, it'll be the aerial dude
   
   You can apply a bit of sealant around the base of the aerial to stop it.

   Don't worry about the sunroof dude (yet). Prise the interior light and panel out so you can see the underneath part of the aerial from inside the car. Get an assistant to pour water (you'll have to do this several times possibly) over the aerial and check for any leaks coming through. If there is, clear the area up, pop the aerial out, apply a smidge of sealant around the base of the aerial and pop back on. Leave for a couple of hours so it's cured sufficiently and then carry on on your merry way

   That's because the sunroof is suppose to be a "citroen" job according to haynes.

   If not the aerial then blocked sunroof drainage pipes...thats what caused the leak on mine.
