After torrential rainfall and severe storms swept through my area I went to get into my car to pickup food. I immediately discovered that my driver's seat had a wet spot. I looked up & felt around the headliner by the sunroof & sun visor and it felt damp. My microphone for the sync 3 audio system felt wet too. My only guess to this was water somehow leaked in through the sunroof...boggles my mind because it's never done this with previous heavy rainfall. My windows were closed & so was my sunroof. Bad seal? Or clogged sunroof drains? 2015 SHO.

Moonroof drains. Attach one of these to your air compressor and blow them out. (Keep below about 50 psi, btw)

Thank you for the advice, will definitely get one! It's the 1st time this has happened on my car and I wasnt merely upset just surprised that it leaked after that heavy rainfall. Im in SE Michigan and we had some gnarly storms roll through for about an hr and a half before hitting lake st clair and going over into Canada.

Find the t it ty up in the fender behind the fender liner and rub it. Stuff will come out. They usually just clog up at the t it ty. If no help then shove weed wacker rope down the sunroof drain on the corners down the A pillar.

I had to flush my drain with air about once a year in Florida (where there's a torrential downpour every day for about 4 months out of the year). I think dust and gunk just builds up over time. If you're ever up in the thumb let me know! The boonies need more SHOs! Lol
