If your only complaint is the water leak, I recommend that the best, 
fastest, and cheapest way to fix it is to fix the leak.

The usual cause of a leak here is clogged sunroof drain lines. There 
are 4, one from each corner. Try looking for them and cleaning out 
any leaves that are stuck down there. You may have to run a wire down 
each one and clear it out carefully (I think it's a plastick tube at 
least part of the way so don't puncture it.)

Mine drained a lot better, and leaked a lot less, once I got the  
old cigarette filter out of one drain tube.
