Today I pulled the inner cowl, and inside I did see a lot of crunched up leaves in various stages of decay, first vacuumed then I hosed it out big time! Did it on top and below with high pressure water.
This didn't seem to make a difference in the smell, so then I tried to blow out the sunroof drains. I was able to do this effectively on the front drains, but it was impossible to reach the rears. The fronts were very clear, and I could clearly discern the sound of the air rushing out in the fender- with no drips so they did not seem to be backed up with water.
Then I checked the inner frame grommets, and I did see 2 missing, but the inside of the frame was dry, and did not smell.
I have put about 20 hours worth of work into this fix now, with no sign of finding the problem source.
This is getting old!
Best always,
