Default roof leak

I noticed that the interior is very moist in my 928 and I'm trying to track down all the leaks. One leak I can't figure out is from the headliner or sunroof. I did put a wire to clean out the drain for the back rear of the sunroof, which now does flow water but still pouring water from this area of the headliner. From what I've read it maybe from a broken Sunroof Water Drip Tray. So, how do I remove the sunroof to remove the tray?

Also can be your hatch seal collapsed up there too.

Thanks, I never thought of using Google first. In all seriousness everyone shows you have to remove the headliner not the sunroof. The best thing I could find Google'ing was this post where this person has the same problem I have where the water leaks through this square from the top.

I just changed the entire hatch seal because a lot of it was destroyed. You can probably see it in the picture.

The headliner can stay to R&R the roof panel tray...its on the panel itself.

I figured it out. Of all the searching, I found a vague clue on how to remove the sunroof. It's in two parts the upper and lower. You need to remove the lower first and you open the roof 3/4 of the way to get access to 3 Philip screws. It's in between so you won't see it easily. Then you slide it out towards the front to see a bunch of 8mm nuts that need to be removed. Once those are removed the top part of the sunroof can be removed.

As for my problem I think I found it. From what I can tell water is not meant to go down the middle of the sunroof. The sides is where it drains the water out from. For me the right side of the sunroof seal has bulged open to allow water to leak in the center area, away from side channels. By side channels I mean the area between the rail and the metal of the car. So I need to order the real seal and probably the seal around the sunroof and some paint since some of the paint seems to have gone bye bye.
