Default MK3 FRST wet headlining when it rains

Hi guys i seem to get a wet headlining when it rains with my Fiesta, is there a common problem with them where the seal around the sunroof gives up? im pretty sure the drainage holes are all good as i blew them out with an airline when we last had the sunroof out, all help appreciated

if its a tilt and slide sunroof then the rubber bit round the edge of the glass isnt really a seal as such..it doesnt keep all the water out, hence the drainage pipes. if it were mine i would get something poked down them till it comes out the other end, then at least you know there is a least a clear route out for the water..i doubt an airline would blow all the crap out tbh, especially further down the pipes
