Will try to do so. Been a few years since I have used image hosting to embed photos on forums, what's the easiest way these days?

I finally had time to look into why my driver side floor was wet whenever there was a nice rain or snow melting. When I grab the elbow, it was torn in a couple of places. How are people fixing this? Is there a hose on the other side of the elbow that fell off? My first thought was to order a new elbow from the dealer but after sleeping on it, I think I am going to remove the elbow and slid another piece of hose on it and stick it threw the hole where the elbow was. Unless someone has a better idea.

The service manuals do show that there are two drains for the back of the tray that run down the c pillars, I'm assuming to drain water if you're on an incline facing skyward, or accelerating. However I didn't get to mine just yet as I don't think they are clogged. Will try to test and access them if it doesn't require too much disassembly, hopefully they will blow out fine

Do you have sunroofs that open at all or just one with a broke motor?
I'd honestly rather trade my working sunroof for a plain roof with no openings

The elbow should be intact, no tearing. It can be fragile although mine was in good shape. I thought the same thing when I pulled mine, going "where's the rest of this tube?". Nope, it ends right there in that weird vaguely sarlacc-looking closure that I promptly snipped off. Good on you for adding the extra tubing, it might keep any water from coming back in.

The drains in the C pillar are indeed for the sunroof, in addition to the two that run down the A pillar. If you examine the opened sunroof from the top, you will see a hole at each corner that corresponds to the respective drain. Pour some water into a hole and it will drain out under the vehicle.

No my front works, just wondering why drains were all the way back there since the 2 rear glass are just roof port holes
