^^ You still need to figure out how water got in, and fix the issue so it doesn't happen again.

PS door seal looks to be in good condition.

I need to verify the sunroof after the alternator is replaced.

I also need to verify the part I mentioned that was taken off during the interior refresh.

I'll do this in the day light.

I think someone mentioned this already, but there are four drains for the sunroof opening, two in front and two in back. Pour a little water into each corner of the opening and make sure it runs out freely.

The ones in front are the most common trouble spot, you should carefully work some weed-whacker line down through the drain tubes to loosen and work out anything that's down in there. Many good threads on this here on RL, including cautions about not using compressed air or other aggressive methods that risk detaching the tubes inside the roof pillars

Update - working on the sunroof now

Found a broken plate underneath the sunroof. I was told this is a drainage plate.

While replacing the plate and cables. Im looking over the drainage holes. ive located the two in the rear but have not found the two up front.

thanks jpc

The two up front are the most troublesome. With the sunroof open you'll see a hole at each front corner of the opening. A plastic hose pushes onto that metal spigot, which is above the headliner, and the hose continues down the front pillar, and exits at the rear of the front wheel well, behind the splash shield. Look out for a kink at the bottom if you have trouble clearing them.

Clean them and make sure they flow freely, as Tom described ... carefully.
