Water Leak in Passenger Cabin

Got in my car last week after a heavy rain and notice front and rear carpet on passenger side was soaking wet. Pulled back the carpet and discovered a small lake. I can't figure out where water is coming from. I've got a sun roof, so today I opened it up and peered in. I noticed water collecting in the front right corner of the sun roof. I also saw what appeared to be a "weep hole" in the corner that was clogged with small leaves and dirt.

Am I correct that this is a weep hole that has backed up causing water to enter?

Appreciate any advice/help.

thx

I'm having a problem with water also. It's only collecting UNDER the passenger side mat. The carpet on the mat itself is not wet at all. Just haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet. Anyone experience something similar?

How do I clear it, and do you know where the water exits from?

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 hose or run a stiff wire up through to clear it out.
