Default It's raining in my car

For the past couple of weeks in Georgia, we've experienced rain. Every time it rains, water starts to leak into my car. I've attached a picture to provide a visual. I'm not sure if my windshield is the problem or the pillar where I see the water. Has anyone experienced this before? If so, what did you do to remedy to situation?

Could be your sunroof is clog. I had a similar issue with my daily driver (none Lexus). You might want to check into your sunroof drainage and have it clear & cleaned out.

I would guess sunroof rubber seals to be the culprit. OR rusted out metal beneath the sunroof rubber seal.

Thanks! I would've never thought about my sunroof. I thought it was either the windshield or whatever is underneath that pillar had a leak.

Before you go buying new seals, check the drain. Open the sunroof, and on both front corners you will see the drain holes. If those are clogged, you will get water in that location whenever it rains. The sunroof drain pipe goes right thru that pillar all the way to the ground. I had the same issue. I used a small electricians snake and pushed it thru. Tested it with a glass of water. All set.
