Start by checking for clogged sunroof drains.
Open each sunroof and look for the drain, a small tube in the front? corner of each sunroof.

As Spike has mentioned, need to get all 4 tubes blown/cleaned out. If that doesn't fix it then you will need to have the headliner dropped and look for a break at the connection or a disconnected drain tube.

Lightbulb Yup

I had the exact same problem, down to the waterfalls coming out of both front seatbelt posts. I had compressed air blown in the drain holes, did nothing. Turned out the driver's side drain tube connector attached to the front sunroof tray was sheared off. Had it epoxyed and has held since.
The easy way to test is to open the front roof and pour a small amount of water in the tray. As soon as you see water in the cabin, the problem has been confirmed.
The only way to fix it is to drop the headliner and get to it. Royal pain.

Default write up comming

I just took out my daughters headliner today as it was getting to be a swamp fest inside her truck.... I will be doiing a how to and why....tommorow.. Took pics to make it easy.I just did the first coat of RTV and will be doing another one tomorrow. Then water test...well, its suppose to rain here tomorrow like everyday this time of year. The leaks i found and there was 3, where all sunroof drain basins.Not the pipes that always break but the basins. Took about a hour or so to pull the headliner. Used the how to here on the board and a couple tricks to add to it.

I spent lots of time trying to fix the leak in the rear sunroof, until I broke a plastic fitting. Then I simply caulked the glass roof permanently shut, and have not had a leak in the past year.
