Default Sunroof Leaking

My sunroof has developed a small leak. Anyone had to address this problem before??? its coming in the passangers side at the front corner (looks to be from under the glass).

Thought maybe it was a fluke and didnt shut right, plus the hard rain we been getting. So I left it outside last night and it leaked again.

Strange, how is the seal around the glass? Does it look okay? Most sunroof leaks in these cars come from clogged drain tubes (either from debris or usually spiders building nests). Check to see if the passenger side drain tube is actually draining, its underneath the dash towards the front. They run right down the A-pillar. That would be the first thing I would check.

it sure was the drain tube. it was draining but very slowly, guess the hard rain was more than it could handle. there were a couple small twigs (almost looked like apple stems) right there i plucked out with needlenose, so something probably got lodged in there.

figured the safest way to go was to 'suck' it out. had to improvise a new shopvac attachment with a mcdonalds straw and some famous tape.
