It appears that the design is for any water getting under there travels down to the outlet in the wheel well. I ran water under the overlapping rubber gasket and could see it coming out at the wheel well. So, I do not think anything in there is blocked.

I am thinking that I may need to run a lot of water over different locations and observe the rear floor to narrow down the source of the problem.
There are drains in all four corners of the sunroof pan. If you only cleared them in front you may get water from the rear ones.

I used to clean the joint and caulk with black silicone caulk. Getting a new windshield and gasket is a good way to take dare of the gaskets and you get a new windshield as a bonus.
