Default Rover 75 Tourer water leak roof

I need your help. My Rover 75 Tourer on the roof driver's side has a water leak. I visually inspected where this leak could come from, but I'm not detecting. Does anyone have any idea where the water might be entering?

Here is the image:

Thank you so much for your help.

under the roof rail strip there is a seam, could it be from there? May be not as your leak is at the front. Roofr rail strip where it touches the top of the front screen?

to remove the strip first remove the roof rail. With gloves on slide the strip backwards, you may need to put a finger in one of the holes for securing the roof rail and pull backwards. Once you have enough strip, grab hold and pull backwards. The edges can be sharp hence gloves. Some of the fixings may break, I am not sure if they are available but if there is a tourer at a scarp yard remove the strip from that and take the fixings
