   Pop the light out and see if the ariel bolt is wet, if so take it of and put a blob of silicone on it and it will never leak again.

    But, there is another problem which i've come across, you'll need to remove the roof liner completely, then remove each one of the small torx screws holding the sunroof in, put some sealant in the screw hole and then put the screw back in.
    
    I've found a few saxo's over time that have done this.
