A sunroof has drain tubes. If one or more of them clog up, water can get inside the car. Supposedly you can use string trimmer line or compressed air to clean them, but I have no experience doing this myself. ---

I went and looked at this TSB (not a recall) and you are going to have to do the same thing that was instructed to be done previously. That is you will have to lower the headliner and locate where the water is comming in then apply the sealant as instructed.
