Water coming from fuse box

Hi everyone, please help. There is water coming from my relay box. It is causing things to come on/trigger when they’re not supposed to. Taillights come on, alarm would trigger, door unlocks. It’s pretty crazy. I assume there’s a leak somewhere but where would it be coming from to be seeping from the inside of the relay box (see video).

Could be coming down the A pillar or a leak in the windshield. Did you have your windshield replaced? This is all assuming your video is of the fusebox on the driver's side to the left.

Yes it is the fuse box on the driver side left. So I removed the box and found the sunroof drain tube running right behind it. So I put a water hose on the low onto the front left sunroof drain hole and watched to see what happens. After about 15 minutes a bead of water ran down the outside of the drain tube. The fuse box sits up against that tube so that’s the culprit. I turned off the hose, inspected the sunroof well and found this.

I put 3 coats of flex seal on it and now waiting for it to cure before testing. Will update results.

Solved

It’s been about 2 weeks now. I’ve run the car through multiple car washes and left it outside overnight in the rain. No issues. Except for residual damage caused by the water sitting in the fuse box. I’d say this is solved so now on to the VSA and ⚠️ light staying on.
