I'm pushing an '03 LS V6 Sport.
... Have you ever noticed that when you open your sun roof, air blows from around the chrome door lever and from the front speakers? I thought it was a leak in the door seal somewhere at first, cuz I always drive with my sunroof on tilt. But now I realize that the air only blows from there when the sunroof is on tilt. It's not air being drawn out of the tilt gap, because the draft can only be felt in those two areas.
Any takers on that?

Why do you have to push your car? Run out of gas?
 
well stop pushing your car and drive it :D The air you feel is from the drainage system around the sunroof that lets water drain through if you were to leave your sunroof open. It drains water down all 4 roof pillars out to under the car.

Actually, I think it drains water through regardless of whether or not your sunroof is open. This way they dont have to worry about trying to make the sunroof waterproof, just provide a safe way for the water to drain. If you ever have a "leaky roof" around the sunroof, more than likely these tubes have gotten clogged. ;)

Yeah I remember on my first vehicle I had a sunroof on, I heard a gurgle, gurgle, gurgle during a rain strom while driving one day. I never heard the sound before and was like, "What the hell is that?!?" hehe. Sounded like a damn fishtank. lol.
