   Are you 100% sure it's the sunroof, I had the same problem when I bought my Saxo and it turned out to be the aerial... Remove the gubbins around the sunroof handle and interior light and a bit of silicone sealer later and leak fixed :-)

   Could be worth opening your sunroof and checking to see if the seal is properly pushed down all the way around!
   Then make sure you do the sunroof up nice and tight!

   if its leaking through the handle you open it with then its most likely to be the problem above

   My leak came through the interior light itself and was the aerial if that helps in pinning it down
