Sounds like you have the dreaded sunroof pan rust. On some models (mines a 93)Saab used a water absorbent seal around the sunroof pan where the pan bolts onto roof inside the car. So you get a nice ring of rust that eventually eats through the roof from the inside.
As we speak, I have my car apart repairing this very problem. What I did was sand and scrape the rust as best as I could, from both the inside and outside, then treat the rust with phosphoric acid (brand name Ospho, available at marine stores)and then painted the interior with Rustoleum exterior metal paint.
On the roof, I went well beyond the bubbling paint to make sure I got it all then bondoed it.
Today, I'm finishing off the exterior body work and painting tommorrow.
I'll let you know in about a year whether the repairs worked!
