Water keeps appearing in the interior

I bought a 2002 Chevy Tahoe Lt on my visit to Nevada. We stayed there for about a month with it. We then moved to Portland Oregon. Since being where it rains constantly I noticed my trunk space and my driver's floor board stay wet when it rains. Also this is happening to the ceiling. I bought it to restore and do some tasteful mods to but I am trying to fix this issues. What would you recommend starting with.

Does your Tahoe have a sunroof?

Might also look at where the roof rails mount to the roof.

my p/s floor was getting wet. found a vid where the guy took the kick panel off ran a hose over the side of the windshield so the water ran down between the fender and body, then you could see the water pooling up on top of this foam inside the body hole at the kick panel. simply drill a clear hole in the foam and it drains. see foam in vid...

the door harness where it fits to the body can also leak. like in the posted vid.

sun roof drains can clog up. blow some air through the drains, one in each corner of the sun roof, can be seen when its open. i blew mine out then poured water in the drains and watched it puddle on the ground, its 4 wet spots.

the back area is likely the roof rack bolt leaking. need to take it off and seal around the bolts.
