Water getting into Battery Compartment

Good evening all,

I have recently purchase a BMW 2013 F25 X3.

I have identified that water is leaking from around the sunroof down the right hand side of the headliner and into the boot. I have checked the drain plugs for the sunroof drain and these seems fine as is the rear light and aerial.

I have identified where the leak is coming from and its exactly the same as the video in this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/BMWX3/comme...f25/?rdt=54188

The leak is basically coming from the black moulded plastic bit that sits about a foot into the roof from the rear of the car and just inside of the sunroof drain channels.

The reddit post suggests a few people have had this same issue but no mention of how the resolved it. Does anyone have any experience or can they shed any light?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
