open the sunroof and make sure the drains are clear. The two holes in the front corners. Lightly blowing them out with compressed air is always a good part of maintenance.

I vote for roof drains too - though mine were plugged enough to cause water coming in, the place it came in was over the passenger foot area... I was parked on a bit of a hill.

I duct taped a piece of small tubing to my air chuch and gently blew into the holes... didnt see anything come out, but also its not getting wet inside anymore

Dont forget the rear drains. You know the holes in the upper corners when you open the rear deck.

NO, didnt know about those.... do they come from the roof down into the rear deck? So blowing into those is blowing "backwards" - i wondered about that - thanks... something to do tonight

Yes and yes. Reaching them from the inside requires sunroof panel removal. Maybe if you unzip the headliner you can get at them, but I don't remember.
