Default leaking sunroof

looking for some help please, my car is a MY00 classic turbo 2000, with electric sunroof, the car has been left a few days and somehow the sunroof has decided to leak.


It is fully shut, the seals inside all look in good condition, when I have taken off the plastic cover next to the electric switch, there is some foam inside which is absolutely drenched.


Any ideas on a quick fix, or do I need to get it taken out and resealed?

Most sunrooves (if not all) have 2 drainage channels in the place taken up by the sunroof when shut . Open it up fully and check in each corner. Theres usually all manner of crud down there. Clean the recess out and if there are drainage holes, use a length of thinnish cable and use that to gently clear the blockage. Not much help i know , but cant think of aything else

What kevo10 says.

The drain holes will have drain tubes fitted to them running down the pillars somewhere. you might need to check both the top and bottom ends.
