The rains are here again with its blessings.

Noticed some dampness in my passenger foot well. I've tried to find where water may be leaking from without success.

I noticed that instead of roof water exiting from the drain outlet it pours in front of it. I have searched for the full water drain piping with no luck.
The attachment shows the circled area where the water drips instead of from the arrowed outlet.

Four runs of clear packing tape will make sunroof leaks disappear. This will give you time to gut whole interior, remove front fenders and find source of the problem.:x

Passenger fender removed as seen in attachment

Sunroof water pours from B

Windscreen water pours from A

I have no idea if this is normal also I can't seem to be able to replicate any leak on the passenger floor, maybe sunroof edges isn't properly sealed.

Question still is what pours from the first drain initially posted?? Will charge up the AC & see if it's it.

To check a/c drain remove cabin filter and spray window cleaner on face of the evaporator. Drain is short piece of hose that goes right through the bulkhead into engine compartment.

I've been able to get the passenger floor dry. Meanwhile no water leakage spot has been found. Maybe my wife didn't properly close the passenger door.

I will confirm the AC outside drain by Monday.

finally found

I finally found where my passenger floor gets wet from.

There's rust at the top corner on the passenger side where the windscreen fits. It is the point of water entry-marked green in the attachment.

Next is knowing how to fix it. Anyone please?
