Default 1997 lx450 wet passenger floorboard

Help please, I know on other cars the sunroof drains come out behind the front tires in the wheel well, & there are two holes in the same place on my 450 as well; so I assumed the sunroof drain was clogged and did all the steps to unclog it I thought. I poured water in the sunroof and it came out pretty as you please on both sides somewhere near running boards, but not out of what I thought was the drains. It only happens when it rains heavy, but I cannot figure out where the water could be coming from? Please any info will be greatlying appreciated

It appears to me that the condensate drain for the A/C system is blocked...cause is usually crap that gets into it over time.

I'd have guessed sunroof drains first, so you started in the right place. Maybe you've got a leak around your windshield gasket? Either you've got on original one that's old and brittle and leaking, or maybe you had a windshield replaced and the tech didn't seal it up well enough?
