    Before placing the blame on the sunroof, I'd look at the kick panel side door vent which comes unglued and lets water in...

    I have the same problem with the the forward driver's side drain on my 940 wagon's sun roof. I tried to clear it but couldn't. If I think it's going to rain significantly, I make sure to park it on an incline so the water runs to the rear sunroof drain. That always works.

    If it has a sunroof, then the seal is not closing correctly and the drain tube could also be clogged at the exit by the bottom of the door pillar. I have had the same issues with my 89 740 and 86 745. I finally had to use UV resistant silicon to seal the rear of the 86 sunroof. Works somewhat, but in a true 'toad strangler' downpour, it still leaks. Then I use newspaper held down by a weight to soak up the water from the rug...sigh.
    Good luck,
