Angry leaking water coming from somewhere

I have a 97 acura cl 3.0. I had my windshield replaced twice in the last two weeks because of water leaking in from somewhere. Since the windshield was replaced twice already, I don't think it's coming from the windshield. I do have a sun roof, which I checked the drains and they are clear and draining well. Does anyone have any idea where this water could be coming from.
The roof behind the visor is wet and water is dripping from the the pillar trim between the door and windshield. Passenger floor is soaked because waters drip from the right side under the glove box. Any ideas would be appreciated. I've also had the windshield molding replaced when they did the windshield for the second time.

Is is only after it rains? If not it could be a heater core or a plugged up drain from your AC

I actually just bought those trim pieces last week. I'm hoping I don't have to remove the windshield molding to get them off. I'm not sure if I should call someone else to check the windshield to make sure that's not the problem after all. Since it's wet on the roof and down the pillar, I know it's not the heater core leaking. I checked the sunroof drains again yesterday. They are draining as fast as they should. Could the water be leaking in around the bolt that holds the track that the sunroof slides on? This is so frustrating. Thank you all for offering advice.

Hmm. surprised that name hasn't been taken yet!
Anyway, I would hose water on the windshield to see if the leak is there. If not, then try hosing down the sunroof. just my :twocents:

Trim Molding appears to be seperate from the windshield

I have a similar issue. I have water on my drivers side floor carpeting. It odd because the mat itself is dry. I can say that the location of the leak is dead center of the plastic guard on the carpet. Every time I have tried investigating I dont know where to start because all around the wet area its dry. I though maybe when driving the car the water would find a way to up the chasis so I went and kinda waterproofed the entire area under the carpet. I havent driven the car in months and guess what. Its soaked and its soaked more than ever. Iv decided maybe i need to change my seals such as door and sunroof. Anyone with anything to add?
