Water dripping from overhead light V70-XC70 1998

Not a problem most of the time, just on rare occasions. After a rain, never after washing the car, I will start it up and head down the street and water will drip from the overhead console lights. You can actually see the water sloshing around the lense!

Yes, the sun roof drains are clear. I am trying to figure out where the water is coming from. The only thing above the overhead console is the sunroof motor. Is there a missing bushing? Water must be coming from the cables that move the SR, which means that water is penetrating the cable housing.

This is so frustrating because the water drips down on my wife's knee or the center console. Obviously, I do not carry a small screwdriver to pop the lens off and undo the 2 torx screws to take the panel off. Hard to do while driving anyway.

I have looked after 2 days of rain and everything is dry.
