Hi my car has a wet headlining on the Ns at the front between the front of the sun visor and the front of headlining near to screen wet in front nearside corner too, think its running down to corner, i have adjusted the door in a little on the catch to make the door press on rubber a bit more as i thought maybe water getting in at top corner of door frame but no luck, Ive blown the sunroof drains out with compressed air and poured water down them they are all clear and draining out correctly in right location, the only other place i can think of to make it wet in this location is the top of the screen under the trim, silly question really will the trim come of easily without breaking and if theres any clips under to break as well and are they still available Thank you:)

Be very careful with the trim the clips are very brittle and like rocking horse sh1t. Probably needs resealing.under the trim.
 
My money is in the body side to roof joint as the sealer cracks and water gets in. Under the plastic strip above the windscreen.

I think @RangeRoller dt had similar and attacked it with sealant.
 
Most likely the sunroof frame has rotted and separated from the glass.

Very common, mine used to wet the corners of the headliner. I had to pull the sunroof draft seal off and silicone the frame back to the glass.

Is the inside of the sunroof getting damp/wet?

Hi i have managed to to unclip top trim about half way across screen and the top roof trim on NS about 10 inches back cleaned it all up and resealed with some sealant, we will have to see how it is when it rains next, if no joy will have to look at sunroof frame to glass as suggested by Henry b. Thanks for suggestions and help so far guys ;)
