I'm no expert on sunroof leaks, but from reading other posts on here, a common problem is the rain channels (pipes to take the water away) get blocked and need cleaning out (try an air-line).

Or just buy an umbrella  :twisted:

Sealing it up with silicon is another favourite.

Last weekend I sealed my rear shower roof with silicon and duck tape. Worked a treat no more internal rivers.

I had this problem when I removed the roof rack. There is a grey plastic shroud non the inside. Remove this and you'll see the black plastic mount. This should up by a number of screws, seal these wih sealant. Worked a treat for me.
