well i recently poured water down to see if the drain tubes were clogged but i could hear water coming out the bottom of the car, i also used some 3m adhesive and put it in the crack above the windshield, and after about an hour of driving around in the rain, which was such a bad downpour i literlaly had to pull over for a while, i noticed that the headliner was still a bit damp on the drivers front corner. the floor is not wet and it is not leaking down the seat either. also i noticed it looked to be leaking down the a-pillar. im not sure if this is symptoms of a leaking windshield or not. i could really use the help!

I have the same problem and Ive seen other people with the same problem at the car wash. For my its the top of the passenger side rubber windshield seal. For you, Im guessing its either that or the sunroof seal because it sounds like its dipping from the top into the head liner

good luck

well today i dropped the headliner and had a friend spray the windshield. i found there was some rust bubbling and the water was coming in from that area. i am having a windshield repair place come out on monday and pull the windshield out and reseal it and replace the windshield moldings
