how do you know the drains are not blocked if you cant open the sunroof ??? have you taken them off in the boot areaand blew up them to see if they are clear??

get some taclum powder, cover the rear rubber and then was the car....make sure its dry...open boot and if the waters getting past teh seal, the talcum powder will have washed away

there will also be holes up in the sunroof gutters and they will brain down the pillers in tubes and pop out the bottom of the boot, on the calibra there are two gromets that the tubes pop through the tubes can come loss i would think it will be the same on the tigra

Baz, you need to get that sunroof open to know if the pipes are still connected to the sunroof tray.
