Water Swooshing Around In Roof?

My MCS has the panaramic roof. And in the mornings, with the radio turned off (so its nice and quiet) upon driving off, i can hear water swooshing. I think its from the roof. So far, there isn't any leaks of any kind..... but this water is coming from somewhere..... i have a feeling its in the air-con as the water sound is still present even after a few days after getting washed.

Any ideas guys?

Might be stuffed drain lines from the roof. There are a number of threads on how to clear them.

There are other threads about air being trapped in the cooling system that produces the sounds that you describe. Bring it back to the dealer for venting.

Where might the dealer need to look to vent the cooling system......

I am asking because they do not seem to know anything about the Mini. I have asked this question to them, and they have no idea what the problem is.
