I have had two roofs change (one for my E30 and one for an old Astra Cab) both times they leaked, granted not a great deal but they did.
Each time on mine it was the stitching onto the bars across the roof. I think when they stretch it to fit, it pulls on the stitching. I sprayed mine with water proofer, especially along the seams, and they have been fine since.
The other thing to look at is the seal between the roof and the drivers window. If that is split in any way it will fill up, and then when you shut the door, squirt it out all inside the car!
