In the last week I have noticed water dripping down the drivers side a pillar.
It looks like the water is starting to come in at the top of the a pillar where the interior a pillar cover joins the roof lining and the water then drips down.
I have pulled the a pillar cover off and pulled the door rubber off and had a look around the area but I can’t see how the water is getting in.
When I removed the a pillar cover I noticed a tube that comes from the roof down the a pillar, I guess this is a drainage pipe?.
Does anyone have any knowledge of such a leak or have any ideas?
Thanks.
Ian.

check your sunroof drainage? open sunroof and tip water down the drainage pipe to see if it is blocked up

Did this last night and the water didn't drain away and started running out of the a pilar cover. I will try unblocking it at the weekend.
Thanks.

Turned out to be the drainage pipe had come off where it connects to the sunroof drainage hole.
Managed to get it back on with out completly removing the roof liner but it was pretty tricky.
