help with a leak

[haunter]

So a few weeks ago after a big storm, I was greeted with a small pool in the passenger front floorboard.
I went ahead and removed the front cowl and cleaned those drains, and the passenger side one was very full of leaves and dirt ETC.
2 more rains, nada.

Big storm last night, and lots of water again

I see some water trail that indicates it is coming down the A-pillar and exiting where that meets the dash.
I am guessing sunroof related?

IE I already did this:

Water leak

After washing my car, I have noticed the past two times that water leaks into my passenger floor board and I was wondering if anyone else had this issue? To dry it I have been taking my mats out and drying them in the sun but I also put my fans on high heat on my feet and leave it running with...

Did you clean the sunroof drains? The hoses that are in the pillar.

ok so the other things to check-- as you mentioned sunroof drains, door drains clogged, potential windshield seal leak. Also potential that maybe putting it back together from the last clean -- maybe there is a small gap or leak with that. Do the easy/likely first. sunroof and door bottom. test a little and if needed go back into the mess you played with last time. test again etc. I've seen more strange leaks places but not on this model of car so far.

I've had success with the moonroof drains by squirting some WD40 down the lines after cleaning them.

front sunroof drains were not flowing at all, they are now!
fingers crossed this does it. was definitely dumping water right into the ceiling of the car
