I have Altima 08 with SL package which includes Sunroof. I have seen that waters drains on to the trays below the sunroof. I understand that this trays have drains so water don't stay in there.
My questions is , is it normal to have water inside the car(on the trays) even if it rains for 30 minutes ? It is not coming on the body yet but is there chances of it dripping over the body?
Its is quite good amount of water and not just few drops.

Some water in the drip pans is normal, if it flows in at a rate that causes an internal leak, have the seal checked.

Thanks for a quick reply , Its not causing any internal leaks as of now , dealer had changed the sunroof but problem was not resolved.
I will watch for another 3 months as car is still under warranty.
