update and found issue leak sunroof

All,

It was very obvious. When i pulled off the A-pillatr, the hose was not inside the drain. they forgot to put it inside the hole. very obvious.

then, when i did the water test, i poured water inside the, with the sunroof open, at a small qunatity, it was going fine, then , when i srated to pour alot of water inside the channels, the water started to come from the top opening of the a-pillar. then, i closed the sunroof, and no water leaked in. i reopened the sunroof did the same test and same problem. though i found that if you pour water in the corners, it drains well, put if i pour it in the middle of the sunroof channel (basically, aligned with the shifter), it leak overhead when I put alot.

my assumption is that the channels are designed to accomodate a certain amount of water and if you put to much it leaks over in to the roof? i also assume that when the sunroof is closed, minimal water gets inside, hence, it will not cause over spills?

feedback appreciated.

How do you removed the A-pillar ? I have also a leak but drains works OK.
I suspect the tubes to be disconnected in the pillar
