Not sure if this will help but, on your 3rd gen have you noticed that when you step on the brake in a rain storm you get a stream of water running down both the passenger and driver side front windows for just a second or two?
Maybe someone else out there knows the correct placement of the sunroof drain tubes on a 3rd gen (mines an 02) but I think both exit just above both side windows about three or four inches back from the front.
Just a thought...If the exit of these tubes is as I mentioned it could be that your passenger side is plugged and some of the excess water is seeping in.

Thundercloud / or anyone else that knows..the symptom you described of the water running down the windows is that due to the sunroof drain plugs? or are there any others?

I saw it all when I did the sound deadening. The tubes run along the top to the drip tray behind those slits in the trim and that funnels it out.

I wondered what those were for...that would explain it. Thanks.
Now I'm left wondering what the stream of water is on both side windows that comes down for a second or two when you hit the brakes...always in the same place on both windows and always looks like it comes from some vent by the way it snakes down the window in a single stream. Could there be four drain tubes...two for the back and two more for the front?
