Water leak

This past week I noticed a small puddle of water on my driver-side floor mat after a hard rain. Sure enough, it's dripping from the bottom of the driver side grab handle like others mentioned. Its a ’22 with cab lights and sunroof.

The sunroof drain is clear. Anyone determine the source of water intrusion yet?

Ever find out where the leak was coming from?
 
Thought I'd follow up on mine. My driver's A-pillar leak had only happened once and just in the last few weeks has happened again a few times, including this morning. I need to address the sunroof drain and see if hopefully that is the problem there. But, my daughter was in the back passenger seat and a few drips hit her arm, seemed to come from the back corner. I haven't been able to find a source for that, I suppose it could be the brake light but would be traveling a long way to get to the corner. Not sure how to address that one.

Mine was happening after going through automatic car wash with brushes. What I notice the 2nd time was the exterior windshield trim on the driver side was pulled out part ways. I pushed it back in and it hasn’t happened since, but I haven’t been going through automatic car washes since.

No. I pulled the grab handle off for about 6 weeks now and haven't had a drop since. Rain storms, hit the area with a pressure washer, flushed the sunroof drains, and tried squirting water all around the cab lights but couldn't replicate the leak.

You know ... I went through a car wash Friday for the first time in a long time, that might be the source of the A-pillar since it hadn't happened in a long time. It was raining this morning so just assumed it was the rain, car wash didn't occur to me.

I went around the truck looking at trim and seals, didn't see anything obvious.

Are the sunroof drains obvious, and how did you flush them? I haven't looked yet.
 
Poke your head through the open sunroof and you see a holes in the front corners. I took a bottle water and poked a hole in the cap. This allowed me to shoot water down the drain without making a mess.
The passenger drain seemed to drain right away. The driver side drain took a while, water did drain out but not as quick. So I'm thinking in certain situations (car wash or hard driving rain?) the hose fills and can't drain the water quick enough, it finds it's way inside somehow. I'm going to blow it out and see if that helps.
 
I am 99% sure I found where mine was leaking and it now should no longer be a problem...

Driver side cab marker light - vehicle forward end of gasket. The oem foam gasket was rolled/pinched and was super thin in that section.... And on the mount screw side but not as bad.

I used 0.5in vhb tape and "traced" 2 layers around each of the 3 openings in/on the roof side (forward clip, connector, and screw).


So far so good, will report back if it still leaks, but I highly doubt it.
