The sunroof rubber only prevents lots of water ingress, it is not a waterproof seal.
Water will get past it, caught in the tray, and hopefully flow out the run off tubes located in each corner of the tray.
Trays rot, corner tubes get blocked or crack an leak, it will need looking at ASAP...

Sunroof tray has a drain in each corner,visible when the sunroof is opened fully.
You need to thread a bit of stiff wire down each drain to ensure that they are clear.

also a straightened (sp?) out metal coat hanger does the job & is a bit stringer for trying to clear any blockage.BenHar wrote:Plastic strimmer cord is good for this.daimlerman wrote:Sunroof tray has a drain in each corner,visible when the sunroof is opened fully.
