I found water and mildew in the cargo area when I swapped my carpet. Easiest way is remove the headliner but is most time consuming.
You can check the sunroof drains and see above without removing the headliner, maybe your silicone seal-up job has partially failed. The front drains run down the A pillars, remove the lower trim pieces, pull them up and run weed whacker line up through them. The rears are above the back doors toward the back of the door opening. Pull back all trim around the top of the door, remove the Oh Shit handles and you can pull the side of the headliner down enough to see it with a flashlight. I was able to get my hand in far enough to stick a thin screwdriver in the drain hole to clear it. Would have been helpful to have a kid or my wife with smaller hands do it but it's possible with man hands.
That's how I found a drain line that wasn't connected at all.
Also maybe check your rear drains are actually going down and out and not dumping back into the cargo area. Timmy the Toolman has a good video on the drains and how they're routed and how to clean them.
I also had leaks in my roof rack bolts, removed the rack and siliconed those MFer's then reinstalled.
Dry as the AZ desert now.
