pillars
i am not 100% but i think that the a is the windshield post. any way doesnt matter i dont think. look at the corners of the sunroof gutter. you should be able to find the opening to the downspout. this is the most probably location of your mineature beaver dam. when you find it just clean it out.

The first (at the windshield) post between lower body and roof is the "A" pillar. The next one back between the two doors is the "B" pillar, and the next(last) one is the "C" pillar. Front to back it goes A,B,C.

Anyone have pics of the drain holes? RLeo told me that 85's are different in some way, and more prone to rusting in this area. Pics speak a thousand words, but words are good too! My '85 appears to have been caulked/sealed, however there is no stains on the headliner, so I'm wondering what was up with that.

Just happen to have some collateral pictures in my posting under another tread:
The first picture is just behind the power antenna (removed in this picture) The second picture is where the drain comes out.
