Default Sunroof leak

This past couple of weeks it has been raining pretty hard in Seattle area and I have some of that water underneath my rear seat. So I have read numerous posts, removed the seat and the headliner. The water drains when I pur the water(my wife) and it does not drip. However as soon as I close the sunroof and direct the water flow into the air, as if it is raining, it begans to drip. It drips right next to drain holes on both sides, as if the water is being misdirected when the sunroof is closed. I will be driving around for couple of days to figure it out. Could it be the sunroof seal? Any help would be welcomed.

Well clean those water drains...rubber is there only to allow certan amount of water that goes to the drains....
You must clean them (use some looonnnggg wire or air compressor or something)...

After cleaning your problems will go away...

Hi Twix, thank you for response, I did clean the drain holes and still I am getting water. I am completely buffled by the issue. The water drains but it seems to drip nearby rear drain wholes. It feels as if the water gets channeled incorrectly from the sunroof. I am getting really frustrated.
