the sunroof of a car is mainly sealed on the inner edge to stop interior leaks. in some cars there are small channels or pipes that run down the doorposts from the lowest reaches of the sunroof to drain off any water leaked in from a damaged outer seal. if you can find the bottom end of it, a good thing to do is take an air compressor and blast it out before every rainy season, or you get leaks in odd places (like the trunk), otherwise the trunk seal itself is probably shot.
