When I was driving through the carwash I suddenly saw water dripping from under the sunshade onto the steering wheel.
I suspect it came in somewhere from where the roof-rail is mounted right hand side front (I live in South Africa: steering on the rhs).
(yes, I checked my sunroof, it was properly closed, as well as the windows. The seal around the window is still in very good condition. Cars do not rust in Johannesburg. There is no real winter, no salt on the roads, far away from the sea).
Did anyone of you make the same experience? What can I do?

Check and clean out the sunroof drains anyway.
That's usually the problem

JRL, you're a star! Thanks. I didn't even open the sunroof as it looks so sealed but now I've opened it and saw the one drainage hole was completely blocked. I'm sure that must have been the problem.
