    Why would this happen? I've had leaks through my doors cause of the weather stripping but this different. Anyone know?

    the drains for the sun roof may be clogged.

    Is it the front dome light or the rear map lights?

    The antennas on the roof if you have them, onstar and xm antennas... They tend to not be sealed well and let water into the roof, then it leaks down through the lights.

    I applied some clear rtv very neatly around the base of both antennas and I havnt seen the issue again YET.

    Puddle some water around the base or the antenna and gently wiggle the antenna. Watch the base and see if the seal on the bottom opens up and if the water gets sucked inside.
