So finally managed to get some wire and before prodding it down the front passenger side drain wanted to ask. Given that the drip seems to be only near the a pillar.

Does this suggest the drain tube is leaking along its course? Or perhaps broken? Would actually prodding it with a wire actually make it worse?

Is it possible the windscreen seal is leaking?

Can you poor water down the drain and see if it flows away first, to test?

Seems to be dripping and wet at the very top of the A pillar, where the soft material meets the plasticky bit of trim. All around the sunroof as such is dry. Which is why I am wondering if it is the drain tube itself that has perished? Viewing the drain tube must involve removing the roof lining I presume?
Suppose I could syringe some water down the drain and check it flows freely/leaks into the cabin.

So poured some water into the drain on the side of the leak and it all drained down without an issue. No leaks to see following this, but not sure what to do now. Window seal looks like new.

Stupid Omega!  >:(

That could be a volume issue... it only leaks when it's pishing down, try again with more water :-\
