Default Water Leak

First rain here in a few weeks and suddenly my XF sprouts a water leak around the overhead passenger service unit. I'm thinking it's a bad windshield seal. Anybody else had this problem? Any other theories out there?

Jaguar had a recall for windshields laminating. Mine was ordered and is getting replaced next week.

Possibly a clogged sunroof drain

Water leaks at this spot are a known issue with a factory fix. I just can't remember what the problem or solution is. Only a few cars were affected.

Looking forward to rain for the next three days and I can't get the car in until next week. Lovely.

Into the shop tomorrow. We will see what they come up with, if anything.

Alright, here is the story. The dealer tech removed the headliner and found the drain tube "crimped", meaning it must have been that why since it left the factory. It was only now that enough debris filled the tube for it to clog and force the water to seek another path. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this was in-fact the problem and all is OK now. We will see next time it rains.

The dealer also replaced the TPMS module, so that problem is hopefully eradicated as well.
