Sunroof leaking - advice needed!

Got in to car today (55plate s/c) and noticed that water was dripping from passenger side roof lining where it meets the capping that comes down beside the windscreen. Only a few drips so I had closed inspection & removed side capping, sun visor & passenger roof handle. Pulled headlining down as much as I could, notice it was coming from a sponge type infill around the inner side of the sunroof housing? Can only imagine that the drain pipe is blocked (I blow this out with compressed air) and there was a build up of water that saturated the sponge and dripped down inside on to the roof lining?? Has anybody else had this? Cheers Laurence.

do a search of the forum for this. It is a common problem but there is very few RRS's with sunroofs. I can't remember the fix, but there was a forum thread on this a year or so ago. The drain is blocked and it it easily fixed. I think the drain access is behind the glovebox but I can't be sure.

Good luck

dont try poking the drain pipe at the sun roof end with anything metallic, you could make it a lot worse...if you have a look at the disco3 web site think there are some posts there regarding leaks from sunroofs
