Sunroof leak? Looking for drain plug locations

stormtrooper7 · 04-22-2015, 08:27 AM

So a couple of days ago I back my car out of my driveway and a stream of water came pouring in from my middle dome light, maybe about a cups worth. I came to a stop at a stop sign and a little more came in from there.

I've searched and found that there are drain holes in the roof but where are they on the bottom of the car?

I haven't had a chance to take a look in the back of the sunroof yet but the front holes seem clear. Anywhere else this car can develop a leak? Carpets are dry.

So all my drains work. There are 2 in the rear fenders, 2 behind the front wheels, and one towards the middle of the car (underneath).

I poured about 2 liters of water over the sunroof and nothing on the inside. Good news, but why and where did it leak from then? Maybe the rain was just too much and the tray couldn't drain the water fast enough?
