It is a common misconception that the furry seal round the edge of a steel sunroof is there to stop water - it is not, it is there to stop wind noise. All sliding sunroofs have drainage channels for the removal of water via the sides/rear of the car. Ergo, if the sunroof leaks then the drainage channels are blocked.
Good luck with the revival, any trad Volvo is worth saving.
