   you had the sunroof out? Drains that appear ok can still cause issues due to the shit way they are fitted to the car when it was it was new. Plus the drains actually sit higher than the water level in the sunroof tray sometimes

   Smells like a sunroof seal, might be split or damaged somewhere. I would have a look there. Just fill a kettle up or hose if you have one and start pouring on top of the sunroof. If it leaks there you'll find out quickly.

   I've had the same thing with my old saxo. It was leaking through the antenna seal, filled up the interior light and dripped on my head and legs while is was driving.
   
   Really annoying

   if the drains are clear its possible they were blocked with ice...then further thawing of snow would have nowhere to go apart from over the side of the roof tray

    You know it! Silicone and cable ties are all a mechanic needs
