I am making this tread to help anyone else who has a leak. My battery box was flooded and my rear seat, rear floor and headliner was soaked. My rear sunroof drain hose fell off and soaked everything. Here is the picture. You have to drop some of the headliner to get to it.

Hello, I have a thread here talking about it. Check the front ones and make sure they are connected and the sunroof tray is clean and the drains are clean also.

Thanks for posting this OP, I found a little water underneath my rear seat... this must be the culprit.

I'm so glad I don't have a sunroof on my R53. That is why I got rid of my 2 VW's both of um leak.

Open the roof and run weed whacker line down the rain tubes and holes.. put about 2 cups of HOT water down the tubes once they are clear.. all sorts of gunk flows out... keep luring until they are clear.. do this yearly.
