A pillar and sunvisor water leak

I have a water leak at the A pillar on passenger side that runs down the inside of the A pillar that’s leaving a nice green stain on the cloth, it’s also wet above both sun visors. Anyone know where the best place to start looking for the problem as I’m sure it’ll be a common fault. Thanks.

If you take the A pillar trim off you'll need new clips to put it back, and some sikaflex if you're like me Laughing

But see rich's post above re sunroof drains... do a search for "sunroof drains" and happy reading Laughing I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

I had the same issue on the drivers side but it wasn't sunroof drain tubes. A quick test with a jug showed the sunroof draining fine and when I pulled the corner of the headlining down enough i could see it was coming from no where near the tubes.

Under the roof rail covers at the very front there is a seam in the metal, you won't so much see a hole but this seam can open up and let the water in. A smear of sealant over the seam fixed the issue for me.

mine had the same the pillar was wet and it wasn't the sun roof channels after rodding them out , mine it seemed has had a replacement screen and the trim on the top was leaking the fix was some Vasoline which swells the rubber trim its a bit wrinkly but its never leaked again ,

i knew it was there as the rubber trim was not flush to the roof right in the corner by the pillar
