could be aerial seal or sunroof seal. Best to check those first as they are the most common.

also take off the two scuttle covers and check the drain holes havent got blocked. 10 minute job to do that.
could also be the sunroof drain tubes that have blocked up

I reckon it could be the heater matrix. I've had this problem with mine. Easy way to find out is if you're loosing coolant.
It could also be the bungs under the car are missing. When you take the carpet and lining up there are 3 or 4 holes in the bottom of the car. Citroen sometimes put the bungs in and sometimes don't!

if the windscreen was badly fitted surely thats the problem

if your not losing coolant then it will be ariel or sunroof/drains

torx bits arent they
you might need to remove wipers to 13m nut on each
