It rained almost all night here and when my wife left for work she called to say that a slow but ongoing drip of water came from the rearview mirror and overhead light by the mirror. I have already successfully addressed and resolved the blocked sunroof drain issue so I am stumped. I haven't had a chance to look at it this time since the car is with my wife but I'm hoping someone here has an idea on what could be happening.

It has to be coming from the sunroof.

All too common on these. It is the little things that torque of owners. Most likely the foward drain tubes are either blocked/pinched/or have come off of the sunroof frame itself. The seal around the glass will leak a little into the sunroof drain(normal). Excessive leakage can be heard or felt in a high pressure carwash. I would have the drains checked first especially if work has been done in the area.
