What I would do is probably get a junkyar replacement, seems the easiest thing to do. You don't have to remove the entire sunroof, just the glass.

I had to do this a few years ago when fixing my interior sunroof slide cover. It's relatively straight forward when you are inside the car looking up @ the sunroof glass - just a few screws here and there, then pop it comes out. At least that's how I remembered it, haha.

Once you actually have the glass out, you can check (probably need a flash light or something) in between the part where the sunroof slides in/out to see if there are any obstruction/build up - there's suppose to be a drain hole somewhere there and if anything is blocking it (should be fairly visible garbage if there is), it could cause water to slowly drain, hence some getting in your interior also. That's another side problem you might as well check out if you are going to remove your glass.

if you want to seal it up you can use clear silicone. just seal the outside part. that's what i did with my pop up sun/moon roof. no more water inside
