The sunroof started leaking earlier this year. Have had the car for 5 years? Don't use the sunroof much. That was annoying.
Now, not only does the sunroof leak into your lap, but it's started leaking out of the airbags. It's like driving a submarine that has started to spring leaks, you never know where the water is going to come out of. The amount of water isn't a steady stream, except after an all day rain, then the roof and airbags leak all day long. And there is water floating around in the roof panel of the car, between the exterior and interior, so even after it stops raining, the car saves it up and continues to leak days after a rainstorm, melting snow, sprinkler attack.
Update from Aug 30, 2017: It wasn't the sunroof leaking. On the panel where the sunroof is inset, is two small holes to the front of the car. SMALL holes. Pinholes. They are connected to hoses and elbows that's SUPPOSED to drain through the firewall and outside the car. But they get clogged with debris and then the water runs free in the car frame, causing the issues. If you catch it early? Clear those holes. Problem solved. If it's like mine was (clean the what? where?) and they've never been cleaned? It means taking off the dash, the A-frame covers, cleaning lines, make sure you clear the elbows (or it will do it again). Lots of plastic clips to break, be careful. Everything doesn't quite line up the way you want when you're done, but it's labor. Not a ton of parts. Stupid system and the dealerships or shops should know about this instead of saying it's a sunroof leak. Anyway, catch it early and the water doesn't drain directly into the circuit panel. Keep charging your battery every time it rains and you'll blow the diodes in your alternator like I did and have to replace it. Elbows, in-dash, for a drain line are a ridiculous design and that should be under recall for a better system that doesn't involve owner involvement for routine maintenance.
