firsr of all i would jack up each rear wheel and spin them by hand to hear for any grinding noises etc...from experience a clicking noise from brakes ususally indicates the pads are loose in the calipers..is the shims still there or broken ?...try reversing then pulling forward usually the pads click due to lifting in the caliper pad housing...if fitting new pads i would gring off any lips on the outside of the discs...plus check the inside of the discs for signs of scoring etc...hope this helps,,,cheers

Firstly i would move the sunroof back and poor water along the roof channels to make sure the water flows down the sunroof drains ok...sounds like a leaking windscreen or sunroof although have seen leaks in floorwells due to missing grommets etc in the bulkhead...try pulling back the front carpets and get someone to spray water over the front of car and the windscreen..roof etc whilst having a look inside to see any drips etc when the water is strayed at each area..take care to remember you are trying to simulate rain and not force water into the car...hope this helps
