I don't blame you; I know, in the end, it wasn't your fault. It was a manufacturing defect...I blame the person that designed your sunroof frame/drain, and the worker in Puebla who didn't use enough sealant...
Yes, the Sportwagen had its first real problem. Last week while Jaime and I were out running errands, I rounded a corner, and a drip of water fell from the overhead console onto my hand. "Odd" I thought...the seepage continued. An hour later, the SW was safely in the confines of the garage at Pignataro VW and the capable hands of my brother, Ryan. It didn't take him long to discover the source (after completely removing the sunroof). Now we're just waiting on parts. Most likely, since this is a new model, and as far as we've heard, no one else has reported this problem, VW is investigating the exact issue, and will issue a Technical Service Bulletin to have other Sportwagens checked for similar issues. Ryan said there are frames available for replacement, but VW will not release the parts for installation...
Gotta love being a guinea pig!
(arrow indicates leak, you can see water on the outside of the drain tube)

I still love you Sportwagen! But I must be honest, it makes me really appreciate the Corolla...
