Mine groans when its closing, the sound is very simillar. I have a feeling the sound you are hearing is the wind deflector motor moving into position, on the D3 the roof, the sunblind and the wind deflector are all operated by separate motors.
Yep thats a blocked drain, mine was dry last weekend. As mine is a solar roof, your mechanism looks slightly different from above.
The video below show the electric wind deflector altering in height depending on speed, ok its on phaeton but the principle is the same.

Apparently the motors can get noisy, and are easily replaced.
This video on youtube shows another sunroof making simillar noises, so maybe they are normal.
