The dealer seemed to fix this issue a year ago. They claim they secured the drain tubes to keep them from lifting up. They also replaced the headliner and the carpet. They could not have been nicer about it. Land Rover corporate wanted to give me a couple of thousand dollars for the inconvenience, but they wanted me to sign a release regarding this particular issue AND any other issues that might arise in the future with respect to this vehicle and any other Land Rover I ever buy. What a joke. I did not sign it or take the money. NOW the issue is back. Water is once again coming out of the air bag holes in the A pillars. Back to the dealer once again.

two stage epoxy resin with wood flour and let it harden over the drain tube before reinstalling the headliner. I used it to secure tubing in my kayak along the gunwale on the inside of the boat. The tubing in that application is used as a keeper for the steering cable but the concept should work here too.

I also used epoxy resin to fix my headlight washer in the bumper on the LR as JLR's fix is worthless.

Same issue here. I have a 2010 LR4 and have brought in twice for repair, initially at the pillars, first time shortly after purchase. They said it was due to clogging at the drains in the sunroof gutter. Don't recall if the charged me the second time or not, first time covered under warrenty.
Big rain last night, went to the store this morning, drip right in the center down onto my hand on the shifter. Frustrating. I don't like the fact of constantly taking down the headliner or messing with the interior.

It's really unbelievable that this is an ongoing problem, and LR has known about it for years, but still can't get it right. It's either complete ineptitude, or they don't give a ****. Either way, it's inexcusable.
