   Take headlining off, pour water around the sunroof, see where its leaking from, seal that bit
   
   Mine was coming in through a screw

   take everything off the headlining and lift the sun roof out firstly make sure each of the two tubes are free (there is a bolt on the pass dash that can cause trouble with blocking the tube)
   
   then put two lines of silicone one on the sun roof and one on the roof and a little dot round there the holes line up for the bolts doesnt hurt. mine was leaking from the screws aswell so i put a dot on each screw washer as i tightend it in as now they are water tight

   Drainage holes blocked? The Sunroof is always going to leak, just make sure the drains work and youll be fine.
   
   Try loosening off the passenger side bolt next to the bonnet release catch, put about an inch spacer on it.
