the only way to find out if to take the headliner out, try seeing if its damp there or rubber guards that hold the back or side winshield might be cracking, thus leaking water into your car

get out the hose and get someone in the car. Douse it and see where it is coming from.

there are four drain tubes on each corner of the sunroof bracket, to check these, pour a little bit of water down each one and see if it drains. They drain by the wheels. I had this problem in my 3rd gen but found the ends of the drain tubes and sure enough they were clogged up. No more problems. Hope this helps

Check your trunk spare tire well. I have a 4th gen that the first problem was that the sun-roof drain toobes in the rear were pluged with old bugs and gunk so it was all drainin in me spare tire well and when I'd het the brakes or go down a hill al that water would pore into my back seats. There's a link to this solution somewhere. Someone post it.

Also, have you installed any kind of item that goes though the firewall? MAYBE something up in front is leaking. Have you pulled up the rear seats to see if it's wet there? Since it might be the seals on the rear window since I've heard those crack on the 4th gen..
