Panoramic Sunroof Leak

I've done a search and nothing I found was like my issue. I have the Panoramic sunroof and the rear one is the one with the issue. I saw it when I went through the car wash today. If you have the pano-roof, you know that when you vent, both panels open up. The rear side of the rear panel is where the water was coming in. Anyone else have this happen before?

In addition, when I vent my roof, and push the button to close, it will close, then open back up. It will usually continue to open back up. Since reading about this vehicle, I know it has pressure sensors somewhere in the sunroof that will open it back up if it thinks something is caught. I inspected it yesterday to see if I could see anything that may have gotten caught in there and nothing. In order to get it to close, I had to pull down on the little ledge. I only assumed that's where the sensor is. But now I'm thinking that in addition to it being the sensor, it also keeps the water out, and by pulling down on it, I some may have flexed it enough to not seal properly.

So there in-lies the conundrum. If both are true, if it's flexed up, can't close the sunroof. If flexed down, I get leakage. I'm hoping those that have come across this have a solution.
