Default '16 glass roof leak/dripping

During rain the other day, I decided to look up at my sunroof and noticed water coming in at one spot along each rail, right where the front and rear sunroof panels meet, probably a 1/4" in diameter drip/stream. Anyone know if this is normal?

I know there was a thread about early '15s leaking, but it was along a significant portion of the rails. This is at the exact same area on both sides, and goes from just a light drip during light rain to a continuous stream during heavy downpours.

Lot's of people are having this issue. I have a 16' and I just dropped mine off at the dealer yesterday to get this fixed.

There's a thread on here where they are putting a dab of caulk on each side. If my '16 has this issue, that's the fix I will take.

I haven't had any issues with leaks in my 2016 Platinum, but I'm definitely double checking the next time it rains.

Here's a quick clip I took during a recent rainstorm.

Sunroofs are not meant to be sealed. I don't know when people are going to realize that. Water will come in, it then gets directed down drain tubes that come out most likely at the cab corners.

Just got my truck back. Dealer said the sunroof was performing as designed. I guess at the end of the day, zero water is getting "inside" of the truck.
