Drain holes for sliding panoramic sunroof

Being slightly paranoid about sunroofs leaking (I've had a Discovery 2, so I hope you will excuse my paranoia) I tried to check the drain holes on the new Defender to see if they were clear. However, it seemed the water doesn't go down a drain hole but runs sideways from the front of the sunroof towards the edge of the roof, then down between the panels towards the windscreen and then down windscreen by the inside edge of the A pillar as per the attached photo. Both sides are the same. Is that how it should be or are the proper drain holes so blocked the water can't go down?

I'm also assuming there are no drain holes at the back of the sunroof. I couldn't see any.

Many thanks. 2023 Defender D300 HSE in Pangea Green

Looks like the rear and front drain hoses are connected to the front New Defender 110 D200 S | Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis

Thank you. That rather suggests the water should be running down inside the A pillar in a drain tube, not down the outside, which means.... 2023 Defender D300 HSE in Pangea Green
