    That's funny I have the same problem with water leaking behind the dash on the passenger side. Did you recently have your windshield replaced? I'm going to tear down the dash today to locate the problem if I find anything I'll post the solution on here.

    I took apart the passenger side upper door panel and the passenger side sun visor to get under the Roof Panel (Which btw looks like it's made of card board). Then I began spraining the car with a water hose and found that the leaking was coming from the sunroof, looks like it's overflowing from the drainage hose. I tried to put silicone and tested it out but it's still leaking. I can't seem to get to it to find if it's clogged...

I fixed this issue awhile back and I forgot to post the solution doh! But here it is for those that are having the issue, apparently the sunroof drainage gets clogged over time. What I did was I pulled the headliner offs and removed some interior panels to get to all for drain hoses. Remove the hoses, open the moonroof and get a wire or the straw of compressed air and stick in the drainage till it breaks up the dirt, leaves, etc. Get a can of compressed air and blow it all away. Vacuum the junk that came out, put the interior panels and headliner back on. Problem fixed,

Sunroof needs adjustment over drivers seat ..leaks
Many fords have some minor adjustments of the roof, the brackets that support the Sunroof or power sunroof have very small Hex nuts you can loosen and shift the sunroof around, if its leaking it could be some other problem such as the drain tubes, there is usually 2 to 4 drains one on each corner that water drains down a tube through each door pillar, check the tube ports in the sunroof catch basin, they could be clogged with old leaves or dirt, run compressed air through each tube and verify at the other end its working.

Water in headliner
My Ford Explorer does this too. Almost knocked myself out getting in one time this winter since it had frozen and sagged low over the drivers door.
Typically this is because the drainage rails for the sunroof have gotten clogged. It's normally set up to handle a little leaking - the excess water flows down the back of the sunroof rails and into a tube that goes down the side of the car between the front and rear doors. It gets clogged with pollen ans such through the years.
Every car is set up differently, but it typically requires taking down the headliner and tracing the rails to find the hose, disconnecting it, and plowing it out with an air compressor.

Nissan quest sunroof drain clogged
open your skylight and feel in the front corners for muck stuck infront of the drainage holes. Use a pipe cleaner or other wire to poke through the holes and the water should drain out. It is a little difficult to see the holes but just feel around.

1999 isuzu amigo water in passenger and driver floorboard no antifreeze smell at all.
this sounds like a build up of condensation (water) possibly in your ac/heat ducting or possibly in the plastic casings under the dash that house some of the heating and cooling components. cold ac components close to warm or hot heating components will lead to water build up this is why there should be a drain tube for the plastic housing under the dash board that leads to the outside of the vehicle. this drain tube may be clogged or may be disconnected and not draining to the outside but instead its allowing the water to fall into the area under your dash board. FYI you can sometimes see these drain tubes drip water on cars that use their air conditioner a lot, it looks like the car is leaking water from the bottom but it's just the water draining away from cool air conditioner lines on a hot day and draining properly to the outside of the car and not on the floor inside.

I have a 2003 honda civic ex 2 door. I have a rain leak on the drivers side by the gas/trunk lever. I keep reading it most likely is the sunroof drain. Where is the sunroof drain and how do I get to it to...
It may not be clogged. I believe the sunroof drains run down
the roof pillars and then connect to another hose which exits
through the body behind front fender. Unfortunately the hoses
connect inside the car. Then again this might not be the source
of your leak and water leaks are hard to address. Your dealer
might be your best bet. If the sunroof drains are clogged, Honda
knows entry and exit and they have to be unclogged with compressed
air.

2009 Mazda 3 found water puddled under floor mat on drivers side, where is it coming from?
Could be condensation from the air conditioner. This normally drains out a tube near the glove box, onto the ground. If this drain tube comes off or is clogged, the water will drain into the interior of the car instead.
Could also be a leak around the windshield, door, or sunroof.
When do you notice it most? Warm humid days, or after a rain or car wash?

Nissan Altima Water Leak
I also have a 2009 Nissan Altima and after sitting or driving in the rain the entire back floorboards are soaked. I took it in last year and supposedly they replaced a "plug". Unfortunately the repair was done at the end of the rainy season so everything seemed to be okay. Fast forward to this seasons first real rain and again soaked floorboards. I went back to the dealership very frustrated with the whole situation. This time they had had my car for 4days and I was told that the HVAC box was leaking due to a clogged line. The line was cleared and sealants used on certain areas. The service advisor is confident that this will take care of my problem. I'm not so confident since my HVAC system was not in use when the car was just sitting there filling up with water. Wish me luck. I am curious how many 2009 Altima's are having this problem and if Nissan is just trying to avoid some sort of recall notification. Very dissapointed 1st time Nissan owner.
