Forgive me if this is repetitive but I couldn’t find any threads with photos that reference this particular issue. I recently purchased a 2001 100 series. I’ve been super stoked to finally own one of these and coming from a 1st gen sequoia I’ve been very pleased so far. After our first good rain since ownership I’ve had some water finding its way into the driver and passenger footwells. Occasionally droplets coming from the area where the rearview mirror wire comes in. Initially I thought this was a sunroof drain issue. So I removed the sunroof, cleared out the drains with trimmer wire and poured water to test. Water came through clearly in both of the pinch weld drain areas. So I then removed the interior pillar trim to get eyes on the drain tubes themselves. I found that the corners of the headliners on both sides were wet. I will attach pictures of what I saw. Im unfortunately now thinking this is a windshield seal issue. Anyone who has dealt with this please let me know what the next steps are.
Advice needed: Water coming from both driver and passenger footwells, and near rearview mirror.

As a combo platter it sure seems like windshield seal is the culprit but I wouldn’t rule out a sunroof leak as well.
I would check your sunroof drains and also windshield seal. Easy way is to spray something soapy on the outside, blow compressed air on the inside. Bubble equals bad windshield install.

How intensive is a windshield job?
Tested the drains yesterday, water was draining pretty freely. Seemed like everything was intact as far as clamps and drain tubes when I looked at them. No pinches or kinks.
