Hi and welcome. Thought it only rained on the west coast 😂. Dreich day in Auld Reekie.

I'd same issue and will check post on here. The solution was walking a running hose up the rear seam until water starts to drip. Mine was coming from sealant failure in the corner of rear panel and roof gutter.

I'll have a look.

Hello there thank you for getting back to me, I did run a hose and after a few minutes out came the drips from this little entrance you can see in the video im baffled whats behind there as everything else feels dry
 
Basically it's a void. The water runs down the inner panel. Mine was dripping exactly as you show.

I did end up removing the roof inserts and resealed to the sunroof seams.

Photo before and after reseal. No more water and still dry.
