sunroof leak.

hi guys.
 ive found a leak coming out of the rear of the sunroof tray,
its where the drain hole probably used to be.
 the water runs down the rear quarter window and into the rear passenger footwell.
 i can visibly see the rust hole.
 my question is how easy is it to remove the head lining? do i have to remove the rear quarter window? plus is the sunroof one unit back to the drain hole? or is it part of the roof?


cheers guys,
any help would be cool,
its just started raining!!!

Difficult to see from the pics.  The drain tube hole is right in the bottom corner behind the rail in your pics.  What I think you can see here is where a bracket is (was!) welded on and has rusted.

Make sure your drian tubes are clear (access the white tube behind the panels in the boot) and this may help your leak - but looks like the headlining will need to come out to do a repair.

You should be able to release enough headlining by just removing the one side windw.  To remove the whole thing , both side windows and screen need to come out  8O

yeh sorry for the crud pic, twas tricky to getthe flash to catch the right area!
ok,
 i think the drain hole was blocked and cos of that water has sat there to eat away!
 so i think im gunna have to take out that side window and peel back the headlining to get at it.
