Need Help, Water coming through Light Unit from Sunroof!

    I currently have a 1996 Ford Fiesta. With the rain that has started in the past few days, everytime I turn a corner water pours out through the light switch in the interior of car next to the rear view mirror. It appears to be gathering inside the roof of the car and when i turn the corner, it pours through. I get the impression that it is coming through from the sunroof. The sealant on the sunroof seems to be pretty worn but I am not sure to go about fixing it without having to replace all of the sealant (i'm presuming this will be costly and because of the year of the car, i'm not pushed to put any more money into it). Would there be any way just to use a clear sealant? and what way would i go about it???

    any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Where is the aerial located on those? Renaults had the aerial located at the centre of the roof just back from the windscreen, which is also above the interior light. Guess what... they had a problem with water coming through the light from the aerial!

    yeah the aerial is in the centre of the roof but the water doesn't seem to be coming directly down, the water only pours in when i turn a corner which gives me the impression that it is gathering in the left hand and right hand corner of the roof...

    I will seal the end of the aerial just in case though, thanks!

    Are the drain tubes to allow the water collected out blocked by any chance?
