Make sure all the rubber is secure around the sunroof, if its not put some rtv silicone on it to seal it up.

The sunroof has drain hoses on both the rear left and right sides. There are tubes that run from the sunroof frame down the rear pillars behind the rear wheel wells and out the bottom of the car.

The right side hose connects into the drain fitting for the antenna.

You can probably try blowing some air up through the hoses or run a stiff wire up through them to clear them out. Some outside crud always gets in there (small leaves, tree seeds, etc)

Some amount of water will always seep through the rubber sunroof seal and into the frame. That's why the frame will always have the drain tubes at the rear corners.
