[s-cars] leaking headliner? where is the water coming from?

[LL - NY]

Water is supposed to pass through the felt seal. The design is
a labrinth, the water is supposed to pass through, collect in the
gutter, drain out the drains. ANY time water hits the roof. This 
is the ADVANTAGE of factory sunroofs compared to aftermarket.
They DON'T rely on seals, they rely on channeling. Seals fail, 
channels don't, unless they're clogged. Clean the sunroof drains,
all will be well. 

Use compressed air or a long stiff wire from the bottom of the drains.
Fronts, as I recall are at the base of the rear of the front fender or 
possibly in the front of the front door frames (other lister's help) the
rears, I completely forgot. The top of the drains are easy, in the corners
of the gutter.
