First time poster. Picked up my explorer ST earlier this year and have enjoyed it. Certified pre owned; I bought the Ford warranty they offered which covered some 1000 parts.

Yesterday I saw water leaking down the rear passenger headliner by the third row seats. So I searched and found what I thought was the issue of a clogged drain line. I blew out the line with compressed air from the bottom and was able to clear it and can get water to flow down from the sunroof channel to the bottom of the drain line.

However, I'm seeing small dripping from the area just forward of the drain line (in red in the below pics). Is it just overflowing? Should there be a seal there that is broken?

Any help? I'm worried this looks like something that will turn into a huge repair bill.

Has it continued to leak after you cleared the drain?
