Its possible the 2 rear sunroof pipes are leaking from where there connected into the sunroof pan, and all running back towards the boot.

You can either open the sunroof and pour water down the 2 rear holes in the pan to see if the inside of the car gets wet, i wouldn't do this myself.
Or at worst take headlining out to check em.
