Update Wet Drivers's Carpet

My leak, if it is only one, is the front left sunroof drain. It is plugged and when I poured a cup of water in the drain hole it puddled up under the carpet at the base of the 'A' pillar (driver's door hinge post). I removed the sill and kick panel, peeled the carpet back and found the firewall wet and the channel where the wiring runs to the back of the car full of water.

I am looking for some pics of the drain tube on the left front to fix it. I have only found pics of the right side and the left is a little different.

I have found the sunroof leak. There is a connector about the middle of the drivers kick panel and the tube ends with a plastic connector that is pointed at the firewall under the clutch pedal. Pour a cup of water in the left front sunroof drain and a cup of water hits the firewall and runs down to the base of the 'A' pillar.

I can't find where to reconnect the drain line. If push comes to shove I will drill a hole in the floorboard at the base of the firewall and run a new line out onto the street to keep my carpet dry!

I never had one of these apart so I'm not sure where it connects to. Seems that tube would only have a small range of movement so it would have to be in a relatively close proximity. How much carpet have you pulled back and did you remove the kick panel?
