Took the light etc out the other day, the bolts that hold the sunroof handle on were soaked. And from the outside of the car the back edge of the sunroof has come away from the car so i think its comin in that way sum how, jus not sure how to fix it.

The leak in my Saxo was caused by the aerial base and the water was coming in via the interior light (as frankie640) mentioned. It is just a case of removing the interior light, drying up the leak and then sealing it up with some mastic (or similar).

Or... a guide in how to repair the actual sunroof from leaking can be found here. (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58749)

My sunroof is pouring in water as well.. drain on one side is completely blocked up.. water is getting in, but I cant find the actual leak.. and its not coming in through the aerial.. the seal itself is seated properly.

its doin my head in atm lol, and i cant sort it properly cuz it rains everytime i go to look!!! lol. I think the seal on mine does need replacing but i aint payin £50 for 1. Aint looked at the drains yet though so that will be worth a try first. :)

Think the drain on the passenger side of my car is leaking. Wenever it rains there is a wet patch in the corner and i get dripped on thru the light. I have siliconed underneath the aerial base so i no its not the aerial that is leaking.

I could easily blow through the drain on my drivers side, but my passenger side it jammed up.. aint had chance to get the compressor and blow air through it.. it seems to be stuck as I couldnt pull it out, although I could on the drivers side..

You think that possibly could have been trapped or such when the car was lowered? I couldnt find its path to see where it comes out.
