Well, with the recent rain, i noticed that the sunroof is leaking on my S4. is this common or is there a known fix for this?

There's some drain tubes on it that may be disconnected or clogged.

Usually, if it gets to the point where you get water leaks on the ceiling, your sunroof assembly has rusted through.
This is usually caused by a plugged drain hose.
You'd be lucky to get a leaky hose or a disconnected hose as the culprit.

ANY problems with the sunroof operating requires the whole thing to be removed, rebuild / lubed, and then replaced.
This is a PITA job.
