    I was just working on cleaning out the clutter from the winter.. I opened up the driver side rear cubby and there was about a .5 -1 inch of water in the tray.
    I closly examined the sunroof drain hose and it looked good from what I can see.. from the amount of water in there it has to be a decent leak somewhere.. the car just came out of the body shop 3 weeks ago..

    Any ideas??

    I didn't think so..I didn't think it was the drain.. I have a bad raddle in the struts.. so thought it could be it

    My side cubbies get full of water too. Turns out water was leaking in through the roof rail mounting stud hole and dripping down. I removed the headliner, unbolted the roof rails, and siliconed them up. No more water.

    i had the exact same problem except it was also running to the front of the car and leaking from the a-pilar trim on both sides, soaking the carpet
