Check that there is a good seal round the base of the aerial and check that the rubber seals round the sunroof glass are actually touching the glass - it's possible they've shrunk/dried/warped with time. I have read on here that rubbing vaseline into the rubber re-moisturises it so it creates a good seal again but I've not done it myself so I'm not sure...
Also, I'm not sure if people have used that silicon sealant on the aerial bit??

if the above doesnt work, its a strip out clean everthing and replace jobby, i ended up putting a new one in mine. p.s. dont go to renault for the sealing strip, its about £70.00, go to B&Q and get one for about £6.00.

What do you mean by sealing strip?? And B&Q?!

you can cure it for good. Buy a tube of stikaflex and then remove the roof and clean up the edge. run a thin bead of stikaflex around the roof where the seal was and then replace the roof and secure the bolts again. once this has dried no more water ever!! i've cured mine now for 2 years

Does that not mean you can't open the sunroof though??

i had the same problem, in the end i just sealed it up for good. i cant open the sunrrof, but how often do you really use the sunroof insteas of the front of rear windows.
