Issue after raining
 
Hello guys,
After raining the passenger carpet is wet, like too much wet there(puddle). I am having panorama. I have tried to "clean" the canal which is on the right side of the panorama with compressed air, I saw that after the air it started to drip water on the ground.
Have no clue what to do because after every rain there is wet.

Time to remove the pillar. The hose may drain but some water it still dripping inside the body. Checkout how I found the drain hoses. Mine had the same right side issue.

To prevent hoses from bending, I used small steel worm gear clamps. Plus zip ties to hold the hose deep into the body drain. It drains great now.

I also found a wet spot in the driver side floor mat this summer, did exactly the same as X5chemist. The drain was definitely kinked, immediately after the straightening a dose of water drop out of the drain hole. This was probably the number one reason for the leakage, but I found out that it didn't fix the issue completely. I opened the roof upholstery just enough and did some test with pouring water from the upside and saw water dripping from the area around the circled area in the picture number 2. Looking from the above, this leakage spot was just next to the drain hole, marked in picture 1. It's hard to see what's happening there but I think it should be completely waterproof up there, mine certainly wasn't, so I added some sealant to the area and now the issue is almost fully gone. It's just so tight up there which makes it more difficult to apply the sealant.

You can also check the status of the drain hose to see if it is properly attached to the drain of the sunroof, see picture 2.

Mind you, my car is a 2003 model so no panoramic sunroof, I bet there are some differences.

Thank you guys for your feedback,

I'll check out.
As on Sam's photos, I forgot to mention that one time I opened the sunroof and I saw undrained water there(it was first time facing that issue with the wet mat and just wanted to check what's happening).

At all the spot of these holes is so uncomfortable but will see what i can do about it, so at all only with compressed air in the right hole won't make the things go off? :)

To know for sure, take some thick weed eater string. Snake it as far as it will go. If the end doesn't reach the frame drain, the hose is kinked.

Also blow some compressed air up into the drain tubes on either side of your transmission tunnel to be sure they are clear. It might be that the AC condensation isn't draining and you are mistaking that for a sunroof tube issue.
