re: so i'm driving down the road....
uh-oh....looks like LOTS of wet weather headed your way, huh? Sounds like it's time for some short-term emergency repairs, to get you through. How bad is the roof rusted? Are there actual visible holes?

you can't see a hole or rust on the inside but its everywhere on the outside although you still cannot see the hole. it appears to be near a welded seam in the upper left hand corner.

Try smearing some silicon sealer all over. Hopefuly that will get you by till you can get it permanently fixed.

I second the motion on the clear silicon sealer. That's helped me out numerous times with leaks like that, plus with it being clear, it's not real obvious from the outside. You could also use some of the expandable spray foam on the inside, after your remove your headliner. The only thing I don't like about that stuff is removing it down the road if needed....it sticks very well!
