Question Can you fix/repair Sunroof Drains?

It's not clogged. It's leaking into the passenger footwell. Right where the dashboard meets the pillar.

Can this be repaired, replaced, blocked off, etc.?

Any and all help is appreciated.

My issue is not like the regular drain issues. Nothing is clogged. There is a breach somewhere in the drain itself. I have verified this. I'm about to run vacuum hose down the drain, as I cannot find an answer to the problem.

I just have my sunroof out of the car. Ceiling disassembly and taking it out seamed like a scary job, but at the end it is very simple. Once you have it out, you'll know what to do.
