• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Front row sunroof only

While driving along an interstate (roughly 60-65 mph) during a thunderstorm with torrential rain downpour my wife in the passenger seat was feeling water hitting her leg. She kept feeling the passenger side window gasket but the window was up and all was dry. A few minutes later she noticed the interior canopy was getting darker (wet) near the visor pivot point and a few minutes later water was dripping through. The sun roof was also sealed shut, but we stopped at a gas station with a covering to open the sun roof and possibly find a cause to the problem, but to no avail. I've attached pictures and have video but the vids are too large to attach here. Has anyone else had this problem?

Probably leaking around the sun roof or passenger door seal, should be covered by warranty, the pics you have there should be all the proof you need.
 
This happens all the time on cars with sunroofs. Open your sunroof and you should see to drain holes in the front on both sides..

Drop some water there and look under the car. If you see water drips on the ground those are clear. If not, shoot some compressed air into the holes.

I have also had the drain tubing get disconnected from these drains and since the connections are right where your leak is, it is possible that's what's happening.
