No. Then the water would just rain down from the top most likely. You have to seal the sunroof shut too.

Or just seal the sunroof. No need to plug drain tubes if sunroof is sealed. There's nothing to flow in them anyway (hopefully).

I used silicone caulk to seal the sunroof on an old DII (replacement trays can be difficult o find). Make sure you disconnect the switch and/or fuse so that the sunroof is not inadvertently opened and breaks the seal.

Right. Lol. That's what I should have said. Of course that only fixes the issue if the sunroof is the issue. Could be the a-pillars or the hvac leaking.
