Headliner Wet
After having my ES350 for a month and half, and loving it, I noticed that during a quick rainfall that the headliner was wet and dripping on the shifter. The headliner gets wet right in the center in front of the eyeglass holder.
I have researched it and found that you have to clear out the drain tubes for the sunroof. After sticking "trimmer line" down each of the front holes I thought I had taken care of it. It rained that night and nothing. I washed it and nothing. Well, this weekend I went out of town and it rained again. Yup, it got wet again.
Can anyone help me out with this? Could it be anything else? Could the sunroof drain tubes gotten clogged up again? What else?
I'd appreciate any help.

No car is in warranty. However, I've read that it does not cover the clearing of the drain tubes.
If I can take it in I will. I live about 140 miles from the nearest Lexus dealership but I can make a trip out of it. Would the "loaner" apply to this if I drop my car off?

Chances are that it is a seal, a disconnected drain tube or that they car had been in accident and was repaired poorly. Use your warranty. Have them power wash the roof of the car while someone sits inside of it. They will see the leak. You should get a loaner.
