I found this bulletin which states the issue is likely a "Drain Hose Kinked Causing Water Leak". For those of you under warranty this should be covered with your end to end. For those of us that have lapsed warranty we will be paying out of pocket to fix a factory defect.

Thanks for sharing this @suburban_dad! Have you had the hose fixed in your vehicle?

It's frustrating to deal with factory defects. Curious what it's costing you to fix it. I guess this is one good reason to get extended warranty.
 
I took mine in to a local mechanic. After Chevy failed me after “fixing it by cleaning the drain channels”

They checked the drains that were near the rear wheel well and they were blocked by insulation. they cut two small sections of the insulation to let the water thru, they tested it and said it’s working properly now. We will see during our next rain

good luck with it....
 
Same issue here on my 2021 Tahoe. Were you able to get this fixed under warranty? My Chevy service team said it’s just clogged drains which is normal for this car and just a fact of life and not covered. I’m worried about breathing in potential mold and mildew.
 
Exact same issue!
Waited 3 months for My 2022 Tahoe z71 paid sight unseen due to “market demands” $80k plus $10k in dealership required add ons …clear coat, protective liners ceramic coat etc etc service contracts extended warranty etc..so $90k in on this bad boy…absolutely loved it 6.2 with the Borla exhaust every upgrade….well I did love it until it started leaking…pouring actually water though the headliner Dec 8th 2022… I live in Oregon ..it rains here the truck has now been to the dealership 3 times now they have had it for 50 days total as of now.. filed a case with GM. Yesterday was told car was “fixed” found rodent debris blocking the real exit sunroof drains by the wheel wheels wells. So they “cleared the debris” GM called to let me know since this was not a manufacture issue our case is closed sorry about your luck. Asked the service etc if they had rain tested it said yeah it’s all good! Skeptical I came home gave it a car wash being that I was extremely skeptical I held the hose over the roof for extra long and guess what!? It’s leaks!!!!! Same exact problem as before water out the seatbelts, airbags, lights on star buttons. ….the “rodent debris” excuse was a lie so was the first 2 excuses they came up with… Brand new tahoe now completely flood damaged and unsafe …water through all of the airbags and electrical equipment and now moldy carpets…. Beyond frustrated taking it back a 4th time now and have opened another claim with GM hope they do right here I feel this one is a lemon. I’ll get some video up soon.
What was your outcome?
 
Yeah, this issue is usually caused by clogged or disconnected sunroof drainage tubes, especially in the rear. Water backs up and leaks through the headliner, seatbelt assembly, or dome lights. That said, in some cases, the drainage tubes are intact but poorly sealed where they exit the body, or the grommets shrink over time. Best fix is to check all four drains (front and rear), clear them with compressed air, and reseal the exit points if needed.
