Hmmmm.... leaky moon roof?

Looks like a common problem is the drain tubes that are suppose to drain away any water.
They can either get clogged, were kinked when installed or leak where they attach to the drip tray below the moonroof seal.

Roll your window up when it rains out... ;)

But seriously, could also be..
-Wonder if there is a drain tube in that area and the tube is pinched?
- Windshield is not sealed?

Was the Jeep parked on a level surface? Wonder how long it has been like that?

Forgot to add.. If you do have a sun roof, look for the drain tubes. Drain tubes can be cleared out with an air compressor.

I'm thinking its either the sunroof drain OR the seal for the roof racks...

Heading over to Jeep now!
