Okay, had the sunroof open. Went inside and came back out and it was raining so hard it looked like I was parked under a fire hose. Had the screen three fourths of the way shut. Question: where did the water go? Hopefully, down a drain somewhere inside the liner. I really don't want to go out and find out the whole liner fell because it was full of water. Tried to wipe up the excess but not much luck. Any smart guys out there know if there is a built in drain in case someone does something stupid like that. Sure I'm not the only one to leave a sunroof open in the rain. Or, am I!!!!

ouch! i feel your pain. florida sucks in that aspect ... during the summer .. HOT as balls, and unpredictable rain ... eventhough we know it will rain nearly everyday ... never know just what time it will start.
GOOD LUCK!

Bad news chief.. Hope everything is okay with the car. And as far as I know there is a drain if you have a sunroof..

I keep looking for water spots on the headliner but so far they havn't appeared. I may have gotten lucky. I guess I should added that I didn't have the sun/moon roof all the way open. I had it positioned where the rear portion flips up a couple of inches for ventilation with the shade pull forward leaving a gap. Don't want any frisky critters crawling down there (squirrels/birds or other creatures of the night).
