Hi Dr. H.

A few question and in no particular order that you may be able to answer
..
Is the leak actually visible to you when the water enters the cabin?

Has this SEC had a windshield replacement?  Leaks can occur if any rust 
has developed on the rivets that secure the reveal and windscreen chrome 
to the sec sheet metal roof.

Are you in the snow belt with salt on the roads and has this sec been 
driven in winter conditions? A precursor to the above.

Have the A pillar sunroof drains been checked and cleared with 
compressed air where the service person can hear the air escaping from 
the drain behind the front wheel?

Where you have another SEC, do you see a noticeable difference in the 
rubber surround when comparing the good one vs. the leaky one? A visual 
inspection may rule in or out the current replacement diagnosis.

Regards,
Dick
