Any idea where this leak is originating from, maybe from the front window top seal? Under the sagging roof liner is starting to deteriorate, break into a fine dust

Just to double check… the headliner is actually wet and not just collapsed?

Looks an awful lot like mine apart from a sunroof and it was just the heat making the glue deteriorate and sag for me...seems unlikely you would have a leak there tbh as there is just solid metal.

:doh: Thanks just rechecked it, its exactly what you both are saying, the sagging roof liner, had me fooled as its got considerably bigger over time (a month or two) and i was convinced it was some kind of damp issue

I have just ordered some fabric spray adhesive from Jeff Bezos and will put it in my thread how I get on....

It won’t work unfortunately. It’s only going to get worse. You need to either change the complete headliner or get it reupholstered. I have already submitted posts about my advise on them.

Bugger...well I’ll glue it and then worry a little more another time....mechanicals are at the head of the queue right now...cosmetics can wait if they are more than £5 of glue to fix
