WOW! I like to know the progress since then. I have a 2008, that I bought in 2013. I've been taking care of it since. I've had issues with the sun-roof. It took lots of internet research and just opening the headliner. Usually, the drainage system, which consists of a drain nipple and plastic tubes, become clogged. You get leaks because the water has no place to drain and the trough overflows.
I know you plugged it up. I wanted other to know what causes the leaks and how to fix it. Anyways, I cleaned the debris in the trough below the glass sunroof. Once you clean debris, do the following:
1) remove the both sun visors.
2) Remove both handrails.
3) Remove that plastic piece that hides the rubber tube which is part of the drainage system. They are on both sides.
4) Once all done, slowly peel, the headliner. You'll see that rubber tube. It becomes clogged with debris such as dust, dirt, and even leaves.
5) Clear out the debris and reassemble in reverse. Done!
