This Octavia was found to have a leak on both sides of the sunroof. There was evidence of prior repair.
The sunroof drainage pipes can shrink with age and pop off, or out of the connectors, and it seems that what may have happened here, is that somebody has tried to stretch them back into place and hold them using cable-ties. Obviously, this hasn't worked.
We will replace all the pipes and the interior will need to be stripped to dry the car and decontaminated to deal with the mould and the smell.
