Default leaking water through roof light cluster and internal mirror.

Morning all, brand new to the site.I have a 2007 XC 70 D5 SE LUX. Only issue over my period of ownership was the electronic handbrake system.Got in it this morning, and there is water dripping from the interior light cluster in the front, and also from the automatic rain sensing mirror unit which is fixed to the interior of the windscreen.I am not very technically minded, i i don't want to mess with things i don't know about, so does anyone have any ideas on whats wrong, or has anyone experienced a similar problem? regards.

Default

Bad windscreen seal, plugged sunroof drain, or bad sunroof seal.

Default Leaking interior light cluster.

Thanks mate for the quick reply! Mine does not have a sunroof, so that can't be the issue.The other thing is that the interior light cluster, which is more or less above the gear lever and centre console, was dripping water. This unit is actually set behind and higher than the front windscreen seal, and I hope you understand my explanation, so that wouldn't be possible from the front seal, although there was water dripping from the rain sensor mirror area, which is below the seal. I have removed it, dried it and "hose piped" copius amounts of water down the shark fin aerial area, and down both sides of the roof rails,and parked it on a downwards facing slope. Guess what? dry as a bone, having driven and braked hard to see if I could recreate the issue. Will have to see how it goes.Thank you, and I value your opinion.
