Seems that with a sunroof it's not all that water-tight even with new seals, so there are drains at each corner.

After a rain or a wash, have a look at the outlet ends of the front drains. You should see about 1/2 inch of tube sticking out of the "A" pillar between the hinges. There should be a bit of a drip on the tube ends.

The rear drains are connected to the drains from the under-the-rear-window air vent. Look in the trunk front corners for them, sunroof drains are "Y" connected to them.

Check the FAQs for tips on how to clean the drains.

Good Luck,

Bob
