Sunroof Leaks, wet floor, mildew, tired of it... S70 1998

1998 70-Series (P80 Chassis) with Sunroof.
This is actually a C70, but it's nearly identical to the 20th Century 850 and S/V70s.

For one, the sunroof has never closed quite right, but I usually bump it with the switch to get it to sit flush. That doesn't make any difference because with the slightest precipitation, my roofliner gets soaked and my floorboards get wet. Since I have rubber floor mats, I'm soon treated to mildew and other unpleasant floor-problems.

I figure this is the fault of the sunroof drain tubes, which I assume run through the A and C pillars. I imagine that these are clogged, rain water backs up and drains down inside my interior trim.

The real problem here is that I can't find the dang tubes to clean them out.

I've peered into the corners of the sunroof opening - can't see anything.
I've had the kick panels off at the A pillars and haven't found anything.
I've spent *A LOT* of time under the engine bay and under the rear suspension and have yet to find where these tubes are supposed to come out.

My trunk stays dry, but the interior carpet on the driver's side has gotten so bad the carpet is disintegrating.

I don't have a VADIS anymore, does anyone know of a good source that describes this repair/maintenance?

Thanks as always.
