    Visit Halfords they have foam cleaners which work very well.
    Though not much point doing it if your roof leaks regularly - getting your roof fixed should be the priority.

    if you open your sunroof you should see drainage holes in the corners of the frame , these can get blocked with gunge and can be poked clean using a wire curtain runner , also check the bit at the top of the engine to see if that's blocked ...leaves etc and also where the water runs out around the wheel arches , if your car has plastic protactors under thearches you may have to undo these
    if you get a bottle of water and carefully check each drainange point you should be able to see if the water is running away or if it is backing up
    if you google your car +forum you may get a owners forum where people have the same problem

  • and the roof problem isnt so easy. I have a Citreon Pluriel, convertible - so the leaky roof is a common and expensive to fix problem = car seat cleaner is a much more affordable solution :)

    I am sure you can get some waterproofing solution for roof no point cleaning seats if it only gets wet again

    Not very good reviews of your car, lots of complaints about leaks
