    Near the front and rear of where the sun roof sits there are two holes (either corner). Fish them out with thin wire or blow them out with compressed air.

    Also check and make sure the rocker drains are not clogged, I will find pics of those later.

    Sold it.

      also consider a new sunroof seal, but they are pricey.

        Wonder how many people will try to answer this first. ;)

        Sunroof seal doesn't seal out water it's for air noise only.

            Nope.

            It's got to be the drains. If the seal was watertight then the car wouldn't even need drains.

            If the water is coming in throught the roof then the blockage should be faily close to the entrance to the drains. Usually it backs up into other areas of the car.

                A stiff piece of wire (not too stiff though) will usually do the trick. There is usually all kinds of crap in there.

                    They are easily spotted if you take a look.
