Default 01 S-80 Interia water leak passenger side front

When it rains, I get flooded. AC/Rec settings have no effect. The sunroof is not the source. The windshield is the original. The dashboard was replaced as a result of airbag deployment sometime ago. Has anyone had this problem or a possible solution?

Does the car have a sunroof?

Tech, the drains for the sunroof have been checked so I am assuming that they are clear. As for the (2) drain pipes, is there a connection (screws) at the top of the channel that have to be disconnected if I attempt too remove the pipes from below the car?

I haven't had them apart in a really long time I believe there is something securing them on the bottom.

Did the drain hoses get inspected from inside the car? (A-pillar under the panels)?

OK, I used my blower from the top on both sides and the flapper valves at the bottom of the tubes opened and nothing came out. If I lift the cowling grill from the top by the windshield, I believe what I'm seeing is the cowling seal loose. Question is, how do I remove the wipers?

Tech, still waiting too see how the wiper blades are removed. True you lift the cap and a you remove the nut, but does the blade lift off or is it screwed on? It doesn't lift up easily at all. OBTW, I ran tape across the cowling and the windshield and my car is bone dry after several heavy rainfalls. I've got to get to the cowling seal...

Once the nuts are removed then press down on the center of the wiper arm area. It gets pushed down on a cone shaped splined shaft off the wiper assembly. So press in the middle of the arm some till it pops loose.
