Exclamation Interior rear passenger side. Mysterious leak. HELP!

Hey guys, searched all over and have been un-able to find a similar leak to mine.

After having the car in the garage for about a month. Had a hard rain and when i found this leak:

Not moving it was a steady drip, once i reversed there was quite a bit of water that came through. I had that quarter window replaced after it was broken several years ago so my first through was a bad seal on the window.

I pulled the car back into the garage for a week and dried out everything. When i pulled back the trim and looked around the sealant looked decent so i decided to try and locate the leak... Couldn't find it hosed down the car for 30+ minutes.... No leak?

Sprayed the car everywhere and heavy to replicate the rain. But nothing on the inside?
I would love to think this was a one time issue but living in the PNW the last thing i want is a leaking car. ANY HELP is much appreciated!

I saw this several time in my searching but thought the sunroof drains went into the A pillar and the trunk. Ill have to do some research. Thanks!

if they're clogged, it could cause water to build up behind the obstruction, then flow out wherever it finds the first place to go. open your sunroof and try to see if any water is standing in there next time, or do the test again. I'd hate to see you take the rear apart for nothing. My big truck windshield leaks with heavy water flow and the truck is brand new.
