Just as the snow and ice has melted we discovered we now have a leak! The front drivers side pillar was soaking wet the other day with water dripping onto the driver too.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Do you have a sunroof? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Thanks Andy, I'll check the pipes - I presume I just open the sunroof and hunt around for them?

The top opening of the tubes are in the gutter around the sunroof.
The other has a rubber piece that is supposed to act as a one way valve but all it does is to stop bits in the tube and cause a back up.
They are behind the guard somewhere I think, others ,ay know exactly how to access. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

If i can remeber I think I used 1.8mtrs of Net Curtain wire, the plastic coated stuff. Virtually the same dimensions as the drain tubes and clears the lot right down to the non return ends. Worked for me without dismantleing anything.......costs pennies

What are the ends which need to be "cut off" ?
Cheers.
