Default Moonroof Drain Tubes

Can anyone tell me how many drain tubes there are on the moonroof of a 5th gen and where they are located exactly and where they all leave the car ? I am experiencing a wet floor at rear passenger side, there is no split in the floor or obvious leak from the roof.

there are clear rubber drain hoses connected to each corner of the sunroof. by taking out the interior trim on the c pillars you'll be able to see the hose. perhaps this hose is blocked in your case.

The moonroof tubes are possibility, but check & see if it's collecting in your spare tire well & sloshing up from there to get the rear seat/carpet wet.

If that's the case, chances are good it's one of the foam gaskets on the taillights. Reinstall & make sure they're sealing properly (or replace if they're old & crusty), and it should solve the problem.

Thanks for the help, I have found the two front drain points in each corner and poured water into them, it clears fast so they arn't clogged. I will concentrate on the two rear drain points, but they are hard to get at as the roof slides over them. Where do the two rear tubes exit ? If i can get to the ends of the tubes I will blast some compressed air up them.

Thanks for suggestion about the trunk/spare tire well, but that is totally dry and no evidence of water ever getting in there.
