Thanks again for your input guys.
I considered the neoprene strip to the perimeter of the sunroof void, but there's no seal there, instead the seal is to the perimeter of the sliding sunroof itself. That doesn't sound like the best design, but maybe that's why I now have the problem.
I've spoken to MBTech in Warrington, who tell me the sunroof only has two roof drains, both to the front; reason being due to the falling roof line in that direction. So there are no rear roof drains from the sunroof. He did say there are further drain points however, so maybe I need to get my magnifying glass out and get looking for those. Water of course always travels down to the lowest point, so if there's no further drain holes in the roof then unless there's a leak on a window seal (which it doesnt seem there is) then I question how, other than an extreme case of capillary action, has the water been able to get onto the quarter lining of the roof.
I think the answer to this looks like an expensive strip out of seats, panels roof lining and quarter lining; something I unfortunately don't have the skills to do.
Again, any further thoughts are welcome. Thanks again.
