I live in florida. Average daily temp 90 this is the rainy season I cannot drive but approx. 40 miles a week to therapy. The car is parked outside, and I keep a window cover over the front window. Two weeks ago, I found a puddle in the back floor passenger side. It drained to the front under the seat and under the front mat. The bulk of the water was in the back. I actually thought I might have spilled a gallon of water. I went to my mechanic who is a master with luxury cars and he could not find anything. So I went home and took large bath towels and got it all out and left it to dry in the hot florida sun. Some mildew had already occurred I used a product to get it out. Two weeks have gone by it is back again! A lot less water but it is there ! No lights are on I also took it for a oil change and they saw nothing they put it up on a lift.

I assume you have a sunroof? If so these have drain tubes which it sounds like your is clogged or has fallen off. I would open the sun roof and check for water in the track area to help confirm the issue. You might need to drop the headliner to get the hose, here is a diagram to help you. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response
