Sounds like the same trouble I had, difficult to explain "how to" but here goes.
The sunroof drain is metal for about an inch from the top. This connects to a rubber tube which goes down the windscreen pillar and vents out of the wheel arch behind the front wheel.
From what you say the join at the top has rusted and become detatched. You will need to take off the inside trim on the windscreen pillar. Then drop the the wide trim that runs along the top of the windscreen after removing the sun visor. You should now be able to pull a bit of the headlining away to see the problem.
I was able to pull the rubber tube up slightly to go back over the drain tube and put some silicon sealant round it.
Hope this helps.
