Default please help, serious leak!

ok hello all and thanks in advance.
i was out driving with my friend and we went to the library to research stuff (lexus mostly ) and when we left, it was raining(i assume a good while). we get in the car and notice both passenger and driver pillars wet (the pillars that run from the roof to the front of the dash, along the windshield) they were soaked and starting to drip. please anyone ideas or advice(mom has camera should be home soon...) Iam so scared because I love my car and as a high school student I dont have tons of cash for repairs, but my dad and i are pretty handy.

Either the seal around the windshield is bad or gone. Perhaps a bad windshield replacement. If your windshield was replaced and the car sat outside all winter, that could affect the seal. Any windshield shop can fix this.

Does it have an aftermarket sunroof? It shouldn't, most all GS's came with sunroofs.
