Water Leak (Inside the car)
Hi,
Have a problem with the windshield area leaking while driving at speed when it rains. Bought the car with water stains on the passenger seat and passed it off as the previous owner split some drinks. That is not the way it is. Odd problem that took a while to isolate.
1-must be driving at speed (freeway)
2-raining (duh) -- somewhat constantly and medium heavy
3-at speed for a bit of time -- 15-20 minutes
The leak then shows
-- coming from the windshield area
-- in the middle of the passenger seat
-- moderate leak (not pouring in but is bothersome)
Have attempted to isolate th eleak by soaking the area using a garden hose and high-pressure $ car wash, both without finding any leaking. The leak does not appear to be directly associated with the windshield. But....
I am starting to think this has something to do with the liftroof drains. Anyone have experiance with a leak like this?
Thanks in advance.

time to pull the a-pillars and make sure the drain lines are hooked up correct. Also flush the drains out w/ compressed air and water etc...Could also be a crappy seal on your sunroof seal and when at speed the roof lifts slightly and water gets between the seal and the car. Make sure the roof fits tight when its closed.
