Default Sunroof leaking

Hello all,

I have a 1995 850 wagon with a sunroof that is leaking. After a rain, the headliner around the driver's side visor and windshield pillar are soaked. I assume that the perimeter seal around the sunroof has failed but I'm surprised that the drains have not handled the leakage. They are not plugged as far as I can tell. Given the location of the water I wonder if the drain itself could have a leak.

I'm looking for some guidance as to what I am up against. Best ways to troubleshoot? Pull down the headliner? Will I have to replace the sunroof or can the seals alone be replaced? Who best to look at this job, a body shop?

Thanks.

This link should help. The big thing is to figure out if the drains are clogged or the seal is leaking on the inner edge of the glass. The seal is NOT meant to keep water out.
