Leak from sunroof controls

When it rains, it occassionally starts to leak from the sunroof controls. When I pull the panel from the roof, I find a small resevoir of water has built up. Surprisingly none of the electronics have burnt out or shorted in any way. I checked the water drainage tubes (found only the front two) in the sunroof and they looked clear. The sunroof looks like it seats down flush into the roof. Any ideas where this leak is coming from?

Why not do this:
Get a hair dryer, and dry everything. Then, wait until tomorrow morning or afternoon or a sunny day, and pour water, garden hose, wash your car, whatever and see where water is coming in from. Find leak and patch? Well, that's how I would go about solving this... Just a thought.

Yeah, I tried something similar and cannot find the source of the leak. I swear it looks like water condensation is forming on a metal plate in the roof, but it's WAY too fast for it to just be condensation.
