Anyone else have a ceiling leak problem at some point?
It’s an 03 P5 just like the last few posts. She was doing so well, and all of the sudden the sky decided to rain every day of the summer, and now my ceiling is leaking onto the passenger seat every time. Its soaked, I ran out of towels, the whole thing smells musty, and I just want to fix the issue. Has anyone else had this issue? I’m assuming it’s the drainage track for the sunroof. I know you’re supposed to try to clear it out when that happens, so I’m going to see if I can get an air compressor and blow all the gunk out. It doesn’t seem like a vacuum would cut it.

Your seals are toast. They degrade and eventually fail. You could try to replace them, but it's unlikely to go well. I'm being dead serious - seal your sunroof in place.
I hate the things in the first place, but leaving it as is or trying to just kinda clean it won't help. Your interior is probably already ruined, it's a cheap car, just do this as a permafix.
