   My sunroof has been leaking and I'm just getting as wet sitting in the car as I would be on the bonnet. I believe the drainage pipes are blocked as the rust is building up in the corners. I have all the nuts taken of front under the roof lining but when I try to push it up its stuck in the middle at the back.... Anyone help me with this problem?
   Cheers Ian.

   when roof open (though I may be confusing this with something else
   long time since I bothered removing the sunroofs

   Theres a bit of foam which is glued to the roof at the back of the sunroof, theres 2 more torx bolts under that. Need the headlining off if you havent done this already, fairly easy just time consuming.

   can you not just pull the roof lining away at the corner and pull the drain off to clean it? thats what i did to my girlfriends 106 on the weekend
