water dripping from the front interior light panel

Hi all,
I had a little water dripping from the front interior light panel yesterday. Not much rain about, but I had jet washed the car the previous evening so maybe I was too agressive around the sunroof as I had not noticed any leaks in the past even after very heavy rain. Could this be the reason? I guess the jet could blast its way in, or perhaps simply too much for the drains?

I was going to check the sunroof drain tubes though just in case. Is there a definitive guide to this with tube routing etc? I have looked on this site & googled it but strangely haven't found anything for FL2.

I think the problem may be the pressure wash,the drain holes are easy to clear out but i've no idea about the tubes.

thanks for the response. I also think it was the wash, but would like to check the drains anyway. I have discovered they are located somewhere above the B pillars which is not easily accessible as the sunroof obscures access. So any tips on reaching these would be appreciated.

Has anyone had this experience when jet washing?

If i remember correctly i used a stool to stand on with the sunroof open and there were drain holes in the plastic surround under the glass,it's been a year since i did mine though.

Had a look but couldn't see anything. I assume any water getting past the outer wind seals is supposed to sit in the plastic trough & either drain out forwards at either side or further back, down the elusive drain holes. I guess if the inner seal is good enough the drain holes are unnecessary?
Does anyone know how to access these drains? If my info is correct they are above the B pillars but that area is hard to reach because the glass covers it whatever position the roof is in...
