Either where your antena comes in or your hood release. I have the same problem from my 88 VW Fox and its from my hood release.

I would like to know the answer to this one also, If it rains real hard the rain seems to collect in the cavity in the roof behind the sunroof and if I press on my brakes I get a waterfall on my head. My drains are clear also. Water does drip out of the hole where the rear window latches are and where the little vents are near the trunk. My taillights have been resealed so it is coming in the sunroof somewhere, but why won't it drain since both drain holes are completely clear. Please help us!

Ah the nightmares of having an old car. My Civic becomes filled with water everytime it rains, but thats because it has no windows.

did you happen to have your winsheild replaced recently?

Sometimes when the person replaces the winsheild, the seal is not 100%, and water will leak in.
