G'day, your door handles if worn may pay to just replace them with either second hand or aftermarket ones, Don kyatt in Melbourne may be able to help with these. WD40 wouldn't hurt either!!
Your sunroof should have 4 drainage tubes on it, 2 run down the pillar at the windscreen and the other 2 down the pillar between the doors. The holes are in the 4 corners of the internal tray of the sunroof assembly.
Check the outside seal condition on the sunroof and be carefull of the sunroof panel itself, they tend to rust inside the seal and also allow water in through there. I bought a factory glass panel for mine from a wrecker to solve the problem on mine.
