Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the sunroof with solid glass? My roof keeps leaking and I'm not about to pay $4000 to get it replaced just to have it leak again. I'm about to the point of disabling it and sealing it shut! I thought I had it figured out, just don't have the car facing downhill. Last night blew that idea.

Did you also checked and cleaned all 4 drain holes? If one is blocked then you will have leaking issues.

Yes, the two drain holes in the front are visible but the other 2 are very well hidden and not visible without removing some parts.
The top side of the rear drain holes are reachable when lowering the headliner near the C pillar:
You can also try removing the inner rear wheel fender. Outlet will then be visible and maybe you can use something with vacuum:
Good luck.
Ok both of the rear drains were stopped up. Got them cleared and then pulled down the headliner. All four drains were loose and one of them just fell off when I lowered the headliner. Cleaned everything and put a little silicon on the drains before sliding the hoses back on. The silicon is more for securing the lines than preventing them from leaking, although it will help with that too. Letting them set up over night and going to do some testing tomorrow. Hopefully the leaks are fixed so I can put the interior back together.
Testing went well today! Looks like the leaks just might be fixed! Gtech, those pictures were very helpful. I had a hard time finding information on fixes for these roof leaks. I took a few pictures and I think I'm going to post a separate thread about how I fixed my problem. Maybe someone down the line will find it helpful.

Thanks Gtech, for pointing out the rear drain holes. I was in need for that. I used a water vacuüm and a flexible tube of 7.8mm diameter to clean up the drain. To get result you have to stick the tube into de drain hole, easy on de front side, a little difficult on the rear. All done in about 15 minutes. For me there was no need to remove any parts.
Yes, you are right, the car is from 2014. Those panels are hard to remove, so I was avoiding that part.
