I don't have a sunroof, but my best guess is they are sunroof drains.

Sounds like the two water outlet hoses Items #10 and 11 here. There are two up front and two rear.

so its nothing that heats up or anything right? im asking becuase the bass vibrates my roof and im making a custom fiberglass headliner, and im putting expanding foam in the open areas under the headliner to fill gaps and make it more solid so it doesnt vibrate.
