leaky back headliner

Actually, it should not have been necessary to use an upholstery knike or any other kind of knife to remove the headliner. Of course, that doesn't mean that one wasn't used.

Are there any other reas> I assume that someone was not careful with an upholstery knife and punctured

Does the car have a sunroof?

No sunroof, and as I said, I there is no visible sign of point of entry for the water to come into. washing the car does not cause a leak, only rain from a certain angle. I am suspect of somewhere around the window molding even though I see nothing.

Any reason why you can't take it back to the place that ruined to begin with to have them repair it properly? Seems to me you shouldn't have to come up with a fix if they warranty their work at all.

That would be smart, but yes, she has taken it back twice and they say they have it fixed each time. So I would rather fix it right myself.

To find leak sources, I pressurize the car interior. Usually just turning on the car's blower on high and closing all the windows is good enough (recirc=off). Spray or brush soapy water on all the suspected exterior surfaces and watch for air bubbles. This finds large leaks. To find smaller leaks, add a surfactant to the soap. I use dilute dishwashing soap with a bit of alcohol (surfactant) to find tiny leaks in plumbing. This concoction, while good for finding small leaks, may damage the painted surfaces. Test a small hidden area first. Perhaps someone can suggest a better means. Oppie

I use foaming window cleaner to detect leaks around windows. Usually the blower on high will work just fine.
