I'm sure I've seen a carbon roof for these? That'd be pretty cool but ruin it if it's standard I suppose

Hi there if you have water in the foot wells 99% confident it will be the front bulkhead. Either the battery tray or fuse box

Hi ya mate, thank you for comment, I've checked battery tray and fuse box areas time and time again just for peace of mind lol, all seems good there, but did notice dripping water above heater matrix when pouring water behind the heater box near ecu's, going to bond & seal tomorow (Sunday )
All drainage pipes are clear for sunroof, so that's one good thing.
Sunroof pan is held together with fiber glass and sealent ;-( not leaking )

Need to change it somehow.

Yes, had the usual welding to floor, arches etc, changed the tailgate, then had full respray.

Then the misses was driving home in the rain,,,, floor soaked I thought straight away it's the sunroof, took headlining down noticed the roof pan full of fiber glass from previous owner(s).

Just an update, spent Saturday and Sunday on Rs, sunroof pan looks horrible but NOT leaking, the drainage pipes are all clear, there's no leaks from battery tray or fuse box, BUT did notice that one of the drain plugs in the rear footwell was not pressed down properly I think it's been coming in from there when she drives in the rain,
I've sealed it up just need to drive in the rain to see if problem is sorted.
Carpet and headline are staying out till I'm certain no more water will get in.
Thanks for all your advise guys.
