I have a 91 mustang gt with a sunroof. It is leaking water and the seals looked bad on it so i replaced them and it still leaked. I pulled out the headliner and found that its coming from where the sunroof retaining clips slide in. If i replace these clips will it stop leaking? Or do the plastic peices they slide into need to be replaced?

If it's leaking from or due to the clips being cracked or broken I'd replace the clips.

I know that you can buy the clips http://www.foxresto.com/products/byCategory/252/Sunroof

but I don't know that you can buy the retainer assembly (the plastic it fits into).

I'm not sure where you'd find that retainer.
Have you checked to see if the 2 screws that hold the retainer are tight?

I had the same issue on my 89 and I took the insert plates out and applied silicone and guess what no more leaks just make sure you dont over do it just enough to cover all edges and where the two screws go into.
