In the strictest sense of things, it should not be covered. Because it's an environmental factor versus a product defect. However a good dealer probably should go ahead and use his goodwill policy and cover it.....…And if Honda corporate is telling you that it should be covered, then they should call the dealership, give them the warr authorization ok # and square that away for you.

There are 2 drain for the sun roof- seen in the part pics here. the drain any water that seeps past the rubber seal witht he roof and gets caught within that " catch pan" and does not let any water get into the cabin,
I would assume those hoses dump the water out in the 2 wheelwheels.
I had clog in one, with my 2007 civic - used hot water and soap to flush it out carefully.

How to Unclog a Sunroof Drain
The sunroof drains are an aspect of your car that you probably rarely, if ever, think about. Though the sunroof is sealed to keep most moisture out, some moisture and water does come in through the gap between the sunroof and the car itself. The moisture is then drained out of the vehicle through the sunroof drains, which run from inside the roof area and exit somewhere else. If the drains become clogged, it can make your interior smell musty and eventually create a major problem. Your car’s sunroof drains should be cleaned regularly.
1. Locate the drain holes. Depending on your vehicle, the location of these may vary, though the front drain holes in most cars exit in the doorjamb or under the car. The rears may drain under the rear bumper or the top of the rear hatch jamb area. Consult a workshop manual for your specific model.
2. Clean off any dirt, leaves and debris around the drain holes. Twist and squeeze the rubber ends of the drains where they exit the car. This should let out some of the trapped water and debris that is stuck in the drain.
3. Open the sunroof all the way so that you can see the drain holes. Test the flow of each drain by pouring a small amount of water (about ¼ cup) down the openings of the drain where they are located near the sunroof. These should be self-evident and located in the front and rear corners of the sunroof area. Check to see if the water is flowing out of the exits for the drain holes.
4. Blow compressed air into the drains if there is no water coming out of the rubber drain exits. If the water still does not drain out, use a piece of flexible wire to snake it down the drain hole to dislodge the debris. Twist and squeeze the rubber ends of the drain to help release the dirt and debris. Pour another small amount of water down the drain once it is unclogged to rinse it out.
