Default Sunroof area drain holes

I have a 2013 jaguar x351 saloon. Water is leaking into the car I presume from the sunroof area. Where are the drain holes?

I had my sunroof entirely replaced ( due to rust ) and the service technician told me that there are no drain holes at all. That is partially the reason why this piece picks up the rust so easily.

Default Sunroof leak?

Thank you for your response. I have heard of this problem on the earlier cars, and seen pictures, but presumed that Jaguar had maybe changed things when they changed the design on later cars? Surely there must be somewhere for the water to escape to? Anyone else please?

Yes the moon roof has to drain.
Here is what the shop manual says for water leaks from the roof.

Default Sunroof water leaking

Ah ah I thought there had to be somewhere for the water to go to - just need to find it!
Thank you very much for that.
Drive safe.

My understanding is that there are only 2 drains and they are at the rear corners and the drain tube goes down the "C" pillar.

Let us know how it turns out?
We are always shooting in the dark and are not sure if we helped with the problem or not?

I could not find a diagram in the shop manual of the drain hoses but the description plainly says there are 4 hoses and EVERY moon roof I have worked on has had 4 drain holes.
You will have many problems if not. We need to understand that the moon roof is not really sealed at all. Water is suppose to get past the glass panel and fill the pan or "water trap". Then as the car leans front to back or side to side the water runs to that corner and drains out the tubes. If they get plugged then the pan fills up and the water has no place to go and will overflow the drain pan into your interior.
