The roof does have drains, and usall the rear drains are in the rear wheel wells, try short blasts of compressed air to clear the drains, one thing you should know, the tubes can come off using this method, then you would need to remove the headliner to fix it, but you may need to do that anyway, other areas water gets in, At the "A" pillar, around the sides of the windshield, use either butyl, or RTV and apply it there. If the windshield has a rubber piece attached to it, lift it and apply sealant under it.
