Default Leaky a pillar

Ok so my driver side a pillar is leaking its not the window I have the trim off and it's actually coming from inside the a pillar itself and dripping onto dash. Not the sunroof drains cause I just pulled the 2 in the rear and cleaned them last weekend

There are two front sunroof drains that get clogged and the water runs along the sunroof frame down the pillars. The only other option, if there isn't body damage, is the sunroof seal itself is damaged

No there are front ones too. They come right down the A pillar and out the door jamb.

Could be your windshield seal leaking. Same thing started on mine too and my sunroof drains aren't blocked

You can access the front sunroof drains from the top by either opening the sunroof window or removing the window; then follow the diagram above for the door jam grommet.

I had a leaky C pillar. Turned out the hose that goes onto the sunroof drain had somehow come off and the water was running out the drain and down the pillar. I was able to pull the headliner down far enough to get the hose snapped back on the drain. I haven't had any problems since then.
