hi there

have you checked the usual suspects...fuses, switch etc. does it have aircon? most people don't use the sunroof, so it siezes up. re the drip. might be a blocked sunroof drain. check the tube at all wheel arches (or close by).

to clear drains when you can get sunroof open feed a length of heavy strimmer line down drain pipes, then flush through with clear water

I use the flexible curtain wire the plastic covered stuff with a bit of heat shrink over the end to make it smooth but be careful the pipes you are trying to clear are only plastic do NOT use brute force....

there are four one in each corner of the sunroof
Could also be the radio aerial thats dead easy to fix
just slacken off the bolt and put some clear silicone sealant under and retighten....
