Default Water Leaking On Driver's Side.....HELP!

The last few days I noticed water on the floor of the drivers side carpet when I parked my car outside after it rained and I dont know where its coming from. I havent had any issues like this since I had the car within the last 2 years when driving in the rain or parking my car.

The sunroof is not open and is not leaking and there are no wet spots on the headliner or around the sunroof. When I open the door I noticed under where the speaker carpet is wet. Im thinking its the rubber outside the door thats bad?? The rubber on the top of the car itself that connects to side windshield?? If anyone had issues like this before or know where to get a new rubber from, Any help would be appreciated!!!

I would say the outer door molding is gone south or one of the drain tubes in the sunroof is clogged up.. I have a door molding if you figure out that it is. Cheap. Good luck with your findings..

Now that You mentioned it, about 2 weeks ago I forgot to close my sunroof and it rained for about 15 min and the exact same area was wet.....Where is the drain tubes located, and how do you unclog them?? I will check that out first......

Open the sunroof all the way. Look into the four corners you should see them. Take a compressor hose and blow into the tubes ever so gently, maybe 25-35 psi. Report back if you see any mud, dirt, or grease.
