vehicle leaking water in doors and now interior roof after a hard rain

So my back rear doors after a hard rain would fill with some water. You can hear it slush around. it would drain and all is well.
well yesterday after a hard rain, i notice the interior roof near sunroof was wet.
I refuse to frick with the chevelot dealerships in BR especially All star. Is there any private place i can take my car too so they can replace the seals for me?
I even tried calling dealerships and they couldnt even give me a quote! they want me to bring it in to inspect it which is like 160.00 even though they dont do they work. that is some BS

I know what's wrong (more than likely).
The water drains on your sunroof get clogged up. It's a pretty easy fix (provided they are clogged and not compromised). This has fixed two of my family's cars.

I finally got pissed off at my sunroof and used silicon sealant around the seam. No more leaks. Never really used it anyway.

I just traded in my Tahoe and had the same issues with it. And it was the back doors only. No issue with the front. I didn't have a sunroof, but if they couldn't get the door seals right then I'm sure there's little hope for the sunroof.
I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the doors (and coated them so it wouldn't rust) to let it drain more quickly.

sometimes you can use trimmer line to clear sunroof drains. try it

It could be the drains in your sunroof are clogged. I just had the same thing happen in my car. There are drains at the four corners of the sunroof. It was a bitch. I had to take the headliner down a bit and stick some weed eater line up the drain to clear. Next car will not have a sunroof..It's just not worth the pain.

Sunroof drains.....period.

I had the exact same problem (F150)
The seal had gone bad rear (3rd) brake light, water was pouring in. Got a .99cent tube of silicone, ran a thin bead around the housing. Problem solved

sunroof- you have four drains in the corners. they fill up and get clogged by dust and debris. compressed air will usually clear them. keep pressure low enough not to blow the hoses off the nibs or you'll have to disassemble the trim/headliner to reattach.- 20 minute fix
doors- you have weep holes on the bottom inside edge that can fill up and get clogged by dust and debris. just take a tool and clear them while running water on the outside of the glass.- 5 minute fix

Tops Unlimited off Cedar Park in Industriaplex area has fixed mine before.
Maybe they do seats too? idk.

Sunroof - pour bleach down the drain holes
Door - I don't know, but I have the same problem with my Tahoe. When I hear it, I'll stop the car, open the back door and slam it and the water starts pouring out.

Sunroof drain. Happened in my wife’s Acadia. Never wanted to choke a service department manager as bad as I did at the time.

Usually it's too big as those drains are pretty small on an Infiniti G37 and a Tahoe. Don't know about the other cars.

For the doors, the drain hole in the bottom of the door is clogged.
Not sure about your roof.
