Leaking headliner pillar

Hi guys,

I am new to rx-8club and have a 2004 maZda rx8 series 1 I noticed stains on the headliner and today is a rainy day and want to know if there’s anyone who know where this leak is coming from. Thanks!

Sun roof but I looked at the weather trim and didn’t pull it off completely it looked fine. No debris or anything

There are cavities for the sunroof to drain extra water. Likely they are clogged. Can just use a shop vac and a thin hose extention and vacuum them out.

It's good to keep those drain clear. In addition to damage to your head liner, it can also cause rust problems with water pooled up and sitting there.
