Default Sunroof leak

My sunroof leaks pretty bad when it rains. I woke up this moorning to my whole headliner soaked and my pasenger seat very wet. It has been leaking from the front 2 corners of the sunroof for a while but never this bad. I have checked the drains and they are all working properly. Is there anything else i could check? How much would you think a repair like this would cost at my local Volvo dealer? My guess is its going to be very expensive.

The hoses fro the drain might have fallen off the sunroof assembly.

You would have to drop the headliner to check the drains.

While it was raining today me and a friend found out where the water is coming in from. The sunrrof leaks from the front 2 corners of the glass. My guess is the seal is bad on the glass. Would it be easy to go to a junk yard and buy a sunroof asembly and replace it by myself? or replace the seal?

You will have to replace the glass.The seal will be way to much to try to replace if you can even buy it.

Only 4 screws hold the glass in.
