Very localised wet headlining... windscreen leak?

Possibly related to my K-bus issue covered on another thread (though I don't think so so far) is a recently developed damp area on the headlining, localised to the zone in front of the front interior lights. It was damp enough to cause a drip in heavy rain, but the rest of the headlining seemed dry to the touch, and I felt around inside the aperture that the lights/switch sit in as far as I could in all directions. I have a sunroof, but there's no evidence that the drains are blocked. I may temporarily tape up the sunroof to definitely exclude that as a cause though.

I've seen threads about leaking rear windows, but couldn't find much about windscreens. Could the windscreen be leaking somewhere along the top edge? I'm wary of starting to take the trim off the outside if it's totally unheard of, so has anyone had this happen to them?

Cheers!
