Many thanks for all the suggestions.
No I did not check the roof before purchase 
Only noticed them when I got the ladder out to clean the whole car. Now if i was 6ft 7 might have spotted them.
As mentioned dealer is fixing new door seals on Wednesday - I don't think it is correct that they sell a car with holes in the roof. Guess they did not check either.
Thanks all.

Well, if you are never going to fit an expedition roof rack, then you could ask the dealer to replace the trims with new undrilled items. I don't think they are expensive.
Although I think new D3 come with the trims pre-drilled and blanked? Silver TDV6 HSE

They do indeed. Plugged with a little plastic plug. I'm sure they'll be able to insert a pair D3 number 3: 08 TDV6 SE Stormygrey /owlpacker
SIII Lightweight - neglected & rusting. Bulkhead now disintegrated - but its got a full service history!

I would suggest a couple of bolts for the rivnut holes in the frame underneath as well to stop water getting into the sub-frame. Getting there is half the fun
