Why is water coming through my Volkswagen Golf's sunroof?

I have a P-reg 1997 Volkswagen Golf. The head lining and seat are wet and the footwell has a puddle in the passenger's side. I think its coming in through the sunroof. Do I need to replace the rubber or can it be dirt build-up?

It's probably a blocked sunroof drain, either blocked with dirt or pinched or bent at the bottom.
