They "should" fit but there were differences between the mk1 and mk2 doors so may be there were differences in the roofs too

the tilt/slide sunroofs dont seral perfectly anyway. the water that gets past the sunroof should travel down the gutters and back out on to the road..have you checked to see if they are blocked or not?
