Water coming inside from "dome" lights ?

Hi there, well yesterday I took my car for a ride, at the second stop, I noticed some water leaking from the dome light in front of the car falling on my dash. I tryed to press/depress the button, some more water falled. Not THAt much but enough to think it's supposed to be brand new !

I have the sun & sound package, but well, Am I the only with this problem ?

you need to bring it in there ASAP so the dealer can see it and see where the water is coming from.

water can = rust
and = electical failure

yeah thats not cool at all. my 97 eclipse used to have some leak because the headliner looked discolored but that was ten years old and not brand new. water anywhere cept the outide of the car is just a big cause of rust and seriously messing up the electrical system as well as the interior, sounds just like my old eclipse. good luck with that though and i hope they find a good cause for it and fix it or replace something. let us know the outcome and be sure to be very very hard on them, dont take stupid answers because thats what they like giving.

*UPDATE*
ok then, so I went to the dealer today and made them check it.
They said that there is 2 "hole" (one each side) of the roof where water goes in so the roof is not flood. It seems that one of them was stuck (maybe a debris or some water that froze into) so it should be ok now.
I'm gonna check closely if I get this problem again in the next months. But I'm pretty sure it's solved.

Well I've asked them and he told me we don't really see them, they are really tiny but I think they go from the roof to the pillar in the door.
Haven't actually seen them myself thoug :S.
