Default Headliner water leak

Hey guys, my 2000 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 is coming up on 133,000 miles.
Yesterday it rained and I was greeted by a wet interior. Water all over the seats and center console
Turns out water is leaking into the car from the sunroof switch and interior light dome. What's the cause and how could I fix it?

Check your sunroof drains - more than likely leaf or other debris blocking the water from flowing to the back of the sunroof assembly to drain. Check the back of the sunroof assembly with a very strong LED light - each corner.

I personally have removed the sunroof glass assembly to ease the checking process...

That's what I was thinking as well.
Do you have a diagram or pictures by any chance?

If you don't have it I would download the free JTIS from this forum.
The JTIS is the factory shop manual and you can't get a better deal than free!

It's at the top of the forum thread list and has full instructions for installation.
