Just to put a word in for sunroofs; my 2016 GTS did 35000 miles in the 3 1/2 years I owned it with no issues whatsoever....

Hi reading up on these posts I have exactly the same issue!! Does anyone know how to adjust and move the roof forward a couple of mm? I really can’t work put how the water gets into the deflector part? The drain holes are not blocked? And also reading up on other posts it was mentioned that a part is required to resolve this?

Yes I will be interested to see what they say? Seems to be a common problem so they should know before you take it there exactly what it is? However I have done quiet a lot of research and I’m still not sure what the solution is?!

I had the same issue as quoted in the initial post. OPC replaced seals around the pan roof. Drain holes not blocked. Problem solved

I had this issue, rear offside passenger footwell was soaked.
Solihull OPC sorted it under warranty, on this occasion they stated they replaced the Pano roof cassette. Been fine since albeit i don't know how it is these days as ive been stuck out in HKG since beginning of December and will be for the foreseeable until quarantine rules change :(

Thanks for the heads up. Although sounds expensive replacing the roof cassette. :o
