i have searched here for sunroof leak questions and see a few. I am trying to find out what provisions are built into a 89 gxe for leaks. I see some drains in the a pillars that must lead out. Are there drains at the rear? I just had my first leak after some up and down temp changes (3F one morning) and now in the 40s. As I started to pull out of my driveway, it leaked on my passenger seat from the back left corner of the slider covering the moonroof. Then, when I went forwards, it leaked from the dome light.

I can believe that water can get in there with an 11 year old seal. But, once it is in there, isn't it supposed to head for the drains?

Any advice is appreciated.

there is probably some kind of plug at the end of the pillar drain. if you take that out it should work much better. you can acsess these hoses by removing that turf like crap on the sides of your trunk, theres usually larger hoses/outlets in the back, you could try blowing compressed air through the hoses also.
