SOURCE: 2002 Toyota Sienna Sunroof

There are 4 drains on the sunroof (2 in each front corner, 2 in each rear corner).
If you want to check to see if they are clear, you can do this.

Get a squeeze bulb (about the size of a turkey baster) and squirt water down each drain, look for water draining out at the bottom of the car. For the rear drains, park the car on a slight uphill, and gently squeeze water down the drain trough on each side, here again, look for water draining out of the car.
If those ar clear, next step is to check the seal of the glass. The drains are only designed to take in a small amount of water, if there is too big of a gap between the panel and the body, it will over run the drain troughs (kind of like when the gutters on a house get stuff in them).

Finding water leaks is kind of a pain, but not if you take it a step at a time.
One thing to remember, water does not run uphill.

So to further water test it. Find a place where you can park it uphill or downhill, grab a flashlight, a friend and a hose.
Start at a low spot, and work your way around the sunroof (one person inside with the light, one outside with the hose). Just let the water run slowly, you don't want to use a nozzle or a spray.
Once you can see when the water starts leaking on the inside, you can narrow down the cause.

As with all sunroofs the seal doesn't last long and must be replaced. Note- with the roof open make sure the drain lines are not stopped up. There should be one on each front side and they go down inside the post on the side of the windshield.

My 96 Toyota Previa has a clogged AC drain line and is leaking into my front pasenger area. I cannot find the drain line to try to unclog. please help!

On my '91 Previa, the drain line comes out of the condenser drain pan directly above the power shaft. The hose makes a turn to go around the power shaft. There's a joint above the curves in the hose. If you take 2 pliers you can wiggle off the bottom piece and then you have a straight shot to take a piece of wire or something and push it up into the drain hose and clear it out. Watch out though, because there's probably water in there and a bunch of nasty junk will come out when you clear it out. Then just put the hose back on the joint & you're good to go.

Sunroof problem with the rain, the water came in, even the sunroof it's closed

The drail holes in the sunroof are probably clogged up with debris, allowing the water to overflow into the car. Open the sunroof, look to the extreme front and rear of the sunroof tracks. That is where the four drain holes are and they may be clogged. Remove any large pieces of debris by hand and then use a small, pointed object to clear the drain holes. That should solve your sunroof overflow water issue.

2001 Volvo V70 with sun roof...car sitting in heavy rain..return to car both front drivers side and passenger side footwells were full of water. What could cause this..no the windows were not open or the...

Not familiar with the Volvo, but many cars (Toyota, Lexus, Acura, Honda, etc.) have drain holes at the corners of the sun roof assembly. These holes allow water that gets past the sunroof gasket to drain through tubes that carry the water to the bottom of the car, where it exits the car.

These drain holes are prone to clogging. If the Volvo setup is like those cars mentioned, you can see the front drain holes by opening the sunroof and looking closely at the two front corners of the assembly that holds the sunroof. I have used plastic weedeater line to open up these lines. Compressed air can also be used.
