Water enters then drains out the drain tubes. However I've looked at it in a heavy rainstorm and didn't see nearly the amount of water coming in that video showed? Perhaps it's the way the roof is adjusted from the factory? So far there's been no water invading the headliner and everything is dry and hope it stays that way..... .

I didn't want a moonroof either, but apparently ALL Platinums get them, even when they're listed as 'options' on the window sticker. At any rate, I'll probably never open it, so I hope it never leaks. If you don't open, it shouldn't get clogged, right? I assume there're drain tubes at all 4 corners, no? Does anybody know? I read when it leaks inside the cabin, it's by the A-pillars most of the times, and reflects on the carpet. Hope Ford checks that the drain tubes are properly installed. And also hope the damn roof doesn't start creaking, like the great majority of moon/sunroofs I've owned.
yes, there are 4 drains on the roof.... and you hit another great point! the issue is not only clogging, but many have discovered the drain tube to be disconnected from the tray.
one thing i did which has literally stopped all creaking is to slide the glass panel forward about 1-2 mm. it relieves the tension between the two panels, and for me, it has not creaked once in about 4 months..... i used to get creaks every day.
