My 98 pours water on me from front sunroof during/after rain or running through car wash. Can't find tube opening under all the sealant. Should it be in front corner passenger side? A glazier buddy tried to seal it and the gunk is thick. Found a hole but no attached tube and not really up to cutting roof. Been thinking of running new tube towards windshield and burying it in the sealer above windshield. Anyone tried this for a workaround? On the defenders, Don't go into water above seat cushion depth. Have an 86 suburban that sucked bow wave straight into carb. The good was car didn't float to Morgan Hill in San Felipe Creek. The bad is low end knock on one cylinder that had water in it when tried cranking so it will need rod bearing some day.

My parts truck had the seam issue behind the fender, but it also had two other leaks which I tracked down independently.

1) Water was getting in past the bolts holding the dash brackets to the A pillar. You can see these if you remove the kick panel plastic trim. I removed partial, cleaned, and RTV-ed. Passed leak test afterwards.
2) The pinch point between the wing and the windshield deck had started rusting and was allowing water which ran down the windshield finisher to pool inside it and drain onto the passenger floor. This "seam" is covered with a rubber spacer that the hood sits on. Kind of hard to explain without pictures but it is directly outboard of the hood hinge.
