There are leaks where the roof meets the windows. Along the channel it can leak onto the headliner... The problem is solved with some sealant.

The old way to find a leak is to shut the car up tight with the fan for the HVAC running full blast. I like to use a doctors stethescope to listen along the window and door edges for wind noise. If you are a smoker, you can use a lit cigarette to show where air is being forced out. Mark the areas you find a leak with a piece of masking tape the come back and built up under the weather stripping with some putty caulk, black preffered.
