HumThree is off the scale

I just got back from a trip to Florida and while driving down there, we went through a rain storm at about 70 MPH. Nothing major, just a good rain. After about 20 minutes, I started to notice a dripping sound coming from over my head. I knew what it was.

After I fought off the urge to vomit, and we came out of the shower, I opened up the sunroof and had my girlfriend stand up and look at the area around the sunroof seal. There was standing water in the plastic tray that runs along the entire front of the sunroof cutout. I pulled over and looked for myself.

There are what appears to de drain holes at the front left and right corners and the sunroof cutout. But, water was still standing in the tray. No water made it inside the vehicle that I know of and the roof liner around the sunroof was not wet. I soaked up the standing water and went on my way. But, I still heard sounds of water dripping and draining out of the roof area.

So, I was wondering if anyone else has had a leaking problem with sunroofs. Are these "drain holes" there to eliminate this kind of leaking? should I take my rig in now or wait to see if it happens again? It is kinda dissappointing, but I epected some things to go wrong.

Oh, and just to eliminate some easy questions, it is a factory-installed sunroof and it was completely closed.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I love my H3 - leaking or not!
