Default help! flooded car lol!

i just realized i have water coming inside my car and figured out its from the sunroof. I took everything out inside and have the headliner off. The water is not coming from the hoses that run the water out. It spills right out near the back seat at the end of the sunroof. My seal around the glass seems to be good and i cant figure out whats wrong, i dont want to take off the sunroof myself cuz i dont wanna mess anything up. Has this ever happend to anyone? can anyone help me?? please help asap!

The sunroof has like drain tubes that go out back and dump near the trunk I believe? Maybe they are logged and water is backing up and overflowing? Sun roof is easy to take out and put in too. But I dont think thats your problem

did you also see water flowing inside the car? where inside the car is it comming from? also if the tubes are partially clogged you might only have an issue in the rain. a cup might not be enough water to back them up.

is the sunroof seal bad or worn out? the drain system isnt designed to handle a large amount of water, because it suposed to be sealed. its just meant to handle a few drips that get past it.
