Okay so a few days ago in the car wash and all of a sudden in the rear view i see my headliner getting wet first on the passenger side and i can see water just running in and then on the driver side. I didn't get a chance to snap a pic so I took a pic from online and circled red where the headliner got darker gray. Any ideas what it could be?? Sunroof drains? I could actually see a solid stream of water coming down.

I doubt it's the sunroof but, possible. I had the same leak couple of months ago
and this is why...
check your rear window trim. it may need replacing

Man I feel your pain. I had the same exact problem. Blocked drain backed up into the ebox and eventually drained under the glove box flooding everything on the passenger side of the floor which is every major module and sensor. Made a claim with my insurance company and $14k later I am in good shape. new carpeting and padding, new ebox and all components. New wiring harness (thats the expensive thing but it WILL corrode if its not replaced and you will experience random errors down the road). New modules and sensors. What a nightmare.

I'm willing to be it is your sunroof drains because those drain lines are right behind that C-piller cover. You might want to pull off that pannel and pour like a cup over water over that side and see if you can see where the water is in deed comming from. That sucks bad. Hope your find out where it's comming from
