The seal on the sunroof is not ment to keep all the water out. That is why there are four water drains on each corner of the sunroof.

To check your drains open your sunroof and get some water. Also, pop your hatch open.

Pour water in each corner and see what happens. The back two drains drain out of those plastic vents where the hatch seals. The front two drains behind the front wheels.

Just check each drain and see what is pluged.

You can get to the rear sunroof drain tubes by pulling the b pillars. Not sure how you get to the front drains besides pulling the a pillar.

I guess you could cut the tube and blast compressed air into it. Then get a barbed connector to splice it back together.

Good luck
