the sunroof has drain tubes, they are clogged with debris. you need to either blow them out with an air compressor or very carefully put a wire down to clear the blockage. you do not want to Poke a hole or tear the drain tube.

Although I’ve never done this myself, I’ve heard multiple times that string trimmer line is ideal for doing this.
