has it rained or have you washed it lately?

I would drop the seats in the rear, climb in with the rear closed up.
bring a few rolls of cheapy TP (Toilet paper)with you.
pile it up round the glass, door seals (even the sides)
Spray it down from the outside and watch for it.
your leak will soak the TP in the leak area first, I recomend a "Spray a little-check allot" approach

*****IF****** you have a roof rack... you may have a leak at the mounts [>:]
this may develop due to dry rotting rubber seal

2 years ago my sunroof leaked at the rear seal. I had the dealer put a new one in b/c it was still w/in the 3 months i bought it.

Its doing it again now.. has anyone ever seen this issue? It probably didn't help we are getting crazy rain here in MA and i was parked uphill last night...

water goes behind the sunroof and gets caught in the headliner.. is this common? i thought initially it was an issue because the sunroof had been left cracked (rear side up) for a week before I bought it....
