My CD spec has a sunroof (which leaks ) so I guess that was an extra!

you sure it's not the drain tubes that are blocked? the sunroof itself isn't designed to be water tight against the steel roof

Useless things Sunroof's the 3.2 has one, I tend to keep the blind shut almost 100% of the time. Given the age the seals start to go, I get a fair bit of wind whistle around the sunroof.

Closing the blind keeps the noise down!

Love my sunroof, especially in the summer. All windows open. Foot down.

Never yet seen an Omega sunroof leak.  And any leaks are far more likely to be blocked drain tubes.

And I would, in the UK, prefer sunroof to A/C

I often got a fair bit of water in my head from the sunroof in wet weather. If the car was parked over night. Turned out it wasnt actually the sunroofs fault. Floorcarpet and soundproofing in the floor was soaked in water due to rust holes in the floor. Some of this water would evaporate and then condensate on the inside of the  sunroof glass. As the car started moving either me or my girlfriend would get wet hair:p the whole glass was covered in water drops. As the floor was repaired and eventually dried up problem was gone:)

Exactly the same as Smart Roadster when (not if) they leak. People mistakenly believe the fabric roof becomes porous, but it has a plastic membrane within, but it wet carpets that cause the problem. And the carpets hold more water in the foam underneath than you could possibly imagine ... and a bit

Is there a guide on how to check and if needs be clean the drains?, Can't say I've noticed any drain tubes.

Pouring water down them is a good way to check  The front drains can be seen in the front corners of the sunroof aperture when it's all the way back. The rears can't be seen due to the sun roof itself.
Front drain tubes go down the A posts and drain into the front of the sill (not the best idea that GM have had, but they been doing at least since the Manta was on the road) the rears are obvious if you know where to look in the boot. Look inside the cubby hole in the rear driver's side (1st aid?) and you'll see a 5/8" ish black plastic tube ... that's a drain tube, there's another on the other side in where the spare lives.
Net curtain wire is good for unblocking them
