It rained last night and i noticed water all around my top interior light

Why would this happen? I've had leaks through my doors cause of the weather stripping but this different. Anyone know?

the drains for the sun roof may be clogged.

and holy hell, it did more than just rain lol literally cats and dogs were falling.

mine does the same thing sometimes. it comes through the lights in the ceiling. i have to figure out where the problem is before it ruins my headliner.

Is it the front dome light or the rear map lights?

The antennas on the roof if you have them, onstar and xm antennas... They tend to not be sealed well and let water into the roof, then it leaks down through the lights.

I applied some clear rtv very neatly around the base of both antennas and I havnt seen the issue again YET.

Puddle some water around the base or the antenna and gently wiggle the antenna. Watch the base and see if the seal on the bottom opens up and if the water gets sucked inside.

Last night, A tornado touched down over the NJSPCA Shelter extricating all Canine and Feline creatures from they're kennels, Picked them up to over 5,000 feet before dropping them on unsuspecting homeowners. A little truth to it raining cats and dogs.

Interesting.
