Opened the sunroof today while driving... got a bunch of water drops on me and into the cab. Truck was dry from exterior but it has rained here the last few days so I guess there was some water trapped where the sunroof pane rests when closed? The water came from the front most part closest to windshield. Note: I do not have any water issues I have observed inside the truck. Anyone else with similar issue?
 
The screen that helps with wind buffeting on the front of the moonroof was probably still wet and that is where it came from.

I haven't experienced any water issues with the pano sunroof yet. Maybe check to see if any of the drain holes are partially clogged?
 
There's really no good way to completely seal a sunroof and still have it be able to open. So they are designed to deal with the water which gets past the seals. The sunroof pan catches this water, and drains on each corner allow the water to flow out of the sunroof pan. There will always be some residual water in there after a rain storm until there is enough time for it to evaporate. The amount of time it takes for that to evaporate depends on the ambient temperature and humidity. My guess is there was still a little water in the sunroof pan from your last rain storm which hadn't evaporated yet. Since you opened the sunroof while driving, the air movement was sufficient to lift some of that water out and it fell on you. I'd say it's perfectly normal.
