    I usually do all my own carwash/detailing but sometimes I don't have a couple hours for that so I'll hit up the local drive through car wash for a quick cleaning. I noticed that drops of water come in past my seal from the high pressure wash, happens on my wife's 22 Rav4 Hybrid as well.

    Question being, is there a drain channel in there that routes it to drain down the side in the panels? I haven't noticed any wetness in the headliner. I could jam a rag or two up there if need be. Anyone ever notice this with their taco?

    Yes, there is a channel on each side with drain tubes that route to the floor on the back corners of the cab. Seen in pic with yellow arrows.

    There's a drain hole in the channel that sometimes get block. I sometimes take a bottle of water, pour it in the channel to flush out any debris. I will see the water running from underneath the SUV.
