2006 Lexus ES330, but this applies to all cars with sunroofs.
I was doing a ton of work to this vehicle. At the end, prior to delivery, I washed the vehicle and found an active water leak from the passenger side A-Pillar.
Upon further inspection I found the sunroof drains to be completely clogged. Luckily I found the issue before rainy season and resolved it. Otherwise, this water leak could have caused serious damage to the carpet and interior wiring harnesses.

After:
I also cleaned and lubricated the sunroof tracks. The sunroof is now sliding very quietly.
Again, I highly recommend performing this service annually (some OEM’s even list this on their maintenance schedule) to prevent a water intrusion disaster.
