Forgive the description but I don't know what else to call it on my 2006 td4 I noticed yesterday when the car was pointing down the slope were I live when it was raining there was water coming in were the roof lining meets the windscreen .On the outside in the same place there seems to be a thin rust line forming , anyone else had this ? could it be anything else other than the sunroof ? thanks
 
Thank you one question how do I remove the panels from the car ? I can see a red clip but no idea how to remove it knowing my luck I will break it
 
Been a while since I took mine out. But pull the red clip to undo the rear latch, you can then push the glass panel up an backwards and it will come out.
I do it stood on the door sill, so you can lift it off and remove it with both hands, don't want to drop it. But if you do it in the car, you can twist it round and pull it through the aperture.

Thanks lads I have found the leak it seems it is not from the sunroof it is from the top of the windscreen rubber near the black bit of black plastic on the roof . I don't know if this bit plastic comes off or the best way to seal it but it seems if I park down hill with the passenger side curb side it leaks it if its facing up hill it doesn't :Dnot the end of the world I know but annoying non the less anyone know does that black plastic come off ? I have removed the other bit just behind the sunroof were the roof bars attach but not sure about the small bit or even if that is the cause .Any ideas what behind that is it just a finisher in which case I don't have to touch it
 
Thanks again the more I look the more I think it is leaking in the black seal that goes around the windscreen if that comes off easily I will take that off and seal it that way otherwise I will have to peal back the rubber and get some silicone in the gap
