Cabin water leaks

It’s possible, maybe even probable. I’m not doing any more digging myself, but this wasn’t happening from day 1. Maybe like day 20. Maybe something wiggled loose after a few hundred miles.
it’s either the windshield or a drain. With the amount of automation I find the windshield to be unlikely.

had the exact same problem on a '18 RR sport. The A pillar drain for the sunroof on passenger side plugged up. Covered under warranty about 4 months before the end of the 4th year. The extended warranty likely wouldn't cover it, but that's not the problem. The problem is there's too much wiring running through the pillar, and water & wiring don't mix. My work puts me in contact with the delayed consequences of that sort of thing, and the delayed corrosion, even inside the wires, will get you more often than not, and it might be a year or two later. Lots of intermittent electrical problems in those situations. I ordered a new defender the withing a month after that.

Reporting back on this…
went in for service yesterday and came out today. Sunroof drain was clogged and had holes in it. Attaching the write up here for the benefit of others.
anecdotally the service adviser told me they’ve had multiples of this and there was a 90 that was so bad that the battery tray filled with water and it eventually shorted out multiple electrical components.
they in theory tested this thoroughly but time will tell.
interestingly the part number on here is for passenger side but my issue was driver. Not sure what’s up with that but not something I looked up til later.

I don't think it's common, but it happened on a bunch of 90's when they first came out (2021/2022 - missing a body seam sealer in the A pillar area and there was a campaign / service bulletin issued at the time). And this is the first I've heard about it on a 110/130.
Nothing has me sell a car faster than ... water getting in the interior. BTW.
