Pillar leaks( Wet both sides)

Oh so we had a pretty hard ran storm yesterday @ 4pm but for only like 10 mins. I got in the car after work 430pm and found that both front A and B pillars were wet from the top and 3/4 down them. Anyone else have this before? Funny I have had zero leaks washing the car and I'm nuts wash it every other weekend

I had a Civic like 20 yrs ago with the same issue. Sunroof drains were dirty/clogged, so water can't drain fast enough. Not sure how you would clean it. I just dealt with it and eventually got rid of the car.

I think I just found it over on G35Driver, Looks like there are two small holes in the front of the track, I open the roof I should be able to see them in each corner. Just blow some light air through them and it should drain behind the front tires? Will try this tonight.

ima tech at the dealer they will charge you a lot for nothing..blow out the drain lightly not to hard before the hose pops out. if it still leaks you will have to remove glove box and side a/c vent and look way behind you will see the drain plug take that out with a long pair of needle nose and put some rtv sealer or something to seal it back. mine was also getting soaked and now doesn't get wet at all

When I had my GTi, the sundroof drain got clocked and it leaked all over my car. I would look into that.

Is there any kind of preventive maintenance? To avoid happening at all....
