Other sources of roof leaks ?
Tired of the leaks, proceeded to seal with silicone under the lip of the sunroofs black plastic bezel that sits on the roof top and fully shows a good adhered bead all around, also and consciously sealed all the glass edges with duct tape covering from glass to roof.
Carefully inspected inch by inch for any pores, lack of sealant and there is none. It is thoughtfully, carefully, well sealed.
But still rains inside. WTF ?

Thanks.
Water drips to the gear shifter from the sunroof switches trim,
by the 'garage door remote' buttons to the radio,
and wets the liner on the side by the rear right passenger head above the door, inches front of the C pillar.
Almost never driven while raining; happens mostly parked level. Nothing gets wet by the front windshield.

This may be important...
With all the 4 sides glass-to-bezel (1 to 3) gaps sealed with duct tape, and the bezel edges also with a silicone bead to the roof as I never use the sunroof, I do not want it, I hate it.
Still leaked. Apparently the rain gets under the marked-red plastic trim and flows inside helped by the slight slope when parked level.
Placed a bead of clear silicone along the green-marked line. Started to rain, and for the first time, it is dry inside !
Will add a picture tomorrow...
