    Where did the water go?

    I head the sunroof tilted up (push up on the button) and got caught in a meeting while it was raining. When I got into the car there was no water to be found. Did it somehow got redirected outside the car or I'm screwed and it went in between the outer and inner roof? There's no sign of water on the interior car roof headliner.

    The car has a set of drainage tubes for the sunroof that runs underneath the headliner, down the pillars (A & C), and empties into the wheel wells (above the liner).

    There are drains in all four corners of the sun roof.

    Assuming it wasn't raining sidewise or really hard you should be good to go

    Not much normally can get in. In college I had a friend leave his 944 roof tilted up during a hurricane and it was dry as a bone inside.

    You paid for a luxury car. The engineers think of everything. Now a Honda on the other hand? You'll need to sit on a towel lol
