more likely the drain on the sunroof has come off or is clogged. had this happen on my old civic that I traded in on my cruze. sunroofs are nice and I love them but I skipped it on my cruze for this reason. Something eventually happens to the drain and you get a leak on your headliner.

I also had the trunk fill up on my civic where the drain valve in the trunk had rotted away since it was rubber and the drain tube started to empty in my trunk and my spare tire well got to be a lake. removed the trunk liner and replaced the check valve with a new one and the problem was solved. but just didn't want to go through this with my new car as I planned to keep it a long time and didn't want to have to do a lot of fix it work on it.

they need to order you a new headliner. its a new car and it should have all damaged parts replaced from a factory defect. period end of discussion.

obviously from the pictures it has been leaking since you had it and who knows what has grown in the head liner.

tell them to replace the whole thing if they can't find a leak. new rubber seals, new drain tubes, and anything else included with the sunroof.

if it is any help to make you feel better we had this same thing happen on our civic. ours was leaking in the trunk where we would have a puddle of water in the trunk in the spare tire area. Went round and round with a few dealers but ended up fixing it myself. took the liner out of the trunk and taped a hose to the front of the roof and put the back seat down and just watched. ended up being the rubber I guess you would call it check valve in the trunk. 5 dollar part and leak stopped. took me about an hour to diagnose and a half hour to go to the dealer and get the part. I don't get it sometimes the dealers just don't want to deal with problems. I guess maybe they don't have time to actually take time and diagnose something that isn't hooked up to a computer. Hurts the bottom line too much I guess.

But after that ordeal I could care less if the car has a sunroof or not. I guess I will take it if I get a deal on the car but it isn't something I would go out of my way to have on a car. especially after dealing with honda. where I live you could only use it in the spring and fall for maybe a total of three months. so in the end I can live without the sunroofs.
