    Cool, so I'm assuming that I will find these drains by opening the sunroof, and they're to either side, behind it?

      Coaxial cable fits perfect (cut off the connectors)

You might check that the hoses in the trunk coming from sunroof are connected to the drains in the side of the body. The drains could be working perfectly fine, but are draining all the water INTO the trunk instead of outside.
        I think i have this problem.. My sunroof drain is zip tied right under my antenna motor, and just drains onto my floor jack :( Where is this supposed to go? I want to fix my leaks! :)

          The sunroof rear drain pipes (one shown here at the centre top of the photo) connect to the vents passing through the quarter panel covered by the bumper cover.
