Try blowing out the four sunroof drains. My LF sunroof drain was blocked, leading to water entering the driver's front side panel and dripping on the emergency brake pedal. Blew out the drain, which helped, but after a torrential rain, water was still getting in (windshield and all other drains are OK - I tested them). I may now have to replace the 30 year old dry rotted front s/r seal, but am at a loss as to why would this allow in more water than can be channeled away through the four s/d drains. If so, should I repalce hte side and rear drains as well? The rear drain is a real PIA, and requires R/R of the entire S/R. Anyone BTDT?
