Re: sunroof
As far as I know sunroof parts are generally expensive and hard to find. I THINK dstocks had a full one, but that was back in April. Theres a wreck at SuziTECH in Thornleigh - Akys' FTO. I think he had leaky seals though, perhaps. Try PMing dstocks or Akys or both.
I fix cars.

Re: sunroof
If the sunroof is leaking and it seems ok. It may be a blocked A frame Pipe where the water runs of to from the sun roof. ( in between the actual roof and inner lining)
Get a long piece of flexi wire and push it through them.

Re: sunroof
Any wire that is flexable and small enough to get into the A frame hole.
You can use anything as long as it doesn't break and gets stuck in it. A guy over here just used a stick he found in his yard beside his car and sorted it out.
If you strip back the lining you'll see a rubber pipe at each corner of the sunroof for draining excess water. Take them off. Give them a clean to make sure their not blocked and also in the A frame. You won't be able to see into the A frame so just giggle the wire around for a while to break up what's there. Might be just some hardened particles or bits of leafs that got washed down over time.
