Most likely the sunroof drains are blocked.
The seal around the sunroof does not completely stop water, it is intended to allow some through which is channeled from each corner via narrow plastic tubes which have a tendancy to clog up.
If you can find the ends then you may be able to clear them using a soft wire.
The way I have done it is to remove the A pillar trim, find the tube, make a small hole, pass a wire up and down the tube then patch it with waterproof tape. (this was on a BX though).

thank u Homer, i will slide backward the sunroof and try to find the end at corner. will it be useful by blowing it?
is the situation you met also so serious like mine? water dropped down from top of the A pillar trim and flooded seat and floor?
Should i as well chceck the seal of corner of windscreen?
If there any good way to dry floor?
besides, the water also meandered down along the trim, im afraid ECU or other electricals damaged
