Default Rain Water.

I am getting water in my car. It coming out of the rear passenger panel.
It look like I'm going to have to pull the headliner down and see what is up.

Does anyone else have this problem?

The simply fix it to park the car in the garage all the time.I can do that.
Here some picture of the water stain.

When I wash mine, or it sits out in a storm, water comes in just above the passenger seat between the A pillar panel and the headliner.

Sounds like we may have the same problem. I wonder if the drain tubes for the sunroof could be clogged?

I'll be pulling my headliner and swapping out all the tan crap for grey, but it'll be a while before I do it.

I get water runnin down the driver side a pillar when it rains heavily. Guess this problem is more common than I thought.

Yep your right ^^^^ its the drain tubes from the sunroof. It happens quite often. You can pull the trim off the top of the car and fix it if its clogged or kinked.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one. Mine leaks around the passenger door and down on the passenger side a-pillar when it rains really hard. Thought I had a bad seal or something. Looks like I'll be pulling my headliner down to check on those tubes you speak of. I believe my sunroof assembly was replaced about 10k miles ago under warranty. Maybe the dealer didn't hook something up properly when they did it.

the sunroof delete may not be as full proof as you hope, I too have a leak up on the passenger side A pillar, and I have no sunroof, need to do more investigating as to cause

I have those stains on my B pillars, is there an easy way to get rid of them?

My car has the Tan interior (not grey ) and I don't want to end up making it worse than it already is.
