Its quite a common problem with the R3 shape cars. All my old ones were fine but the seals around the sunroof seem to let in the water. You see alot with tape or sealant on them. Id try finding the rubber seal but I think they are quite difficult to find. Good luck

The roof/glass seal is designed to allow water to pass it.

Once past the outer seal the water travels along a gutter/tray and then out to the drains at each corner. So you either have a rotten gutter/tray/gasket or the drain hoses are bust/disconnected somehow.

This is correct. Very common issue on them sadly. I love the R3 but would never touch one with a sunroof because of this.
