Could that be for your coolant overflow? Hard to tell in the pics

Looks like drainage tubes for the sunroof.

Drainage tube for the hatch. When you pop the hatch there's two drainage holes in front of the hatch supports. Make sure they're not clogged or kinked. Run some trimmer wire down there.

Agreed, hatch drain tube. These are common to clog as stated make sure is not plugged up.

Wow I can see it now. Totally couldn't tell that was the back wheel and bumper. That's what I get for waking up early LOL

Ah hatch drainage tube, that would have been my next guess.
As for retrofitting a sunroof-I've thought about it on one of my other cars. Just not worth the risk. Too much can go wrong. Things like with cutting like the hole being too big. If you really want one, a shop would be the best way to go for it.

My opinion, trade your car for one with a sunroof. Don't try to fab one, its extremely difficult.

Agreed. If its not OEM, it will never stop leaking and never look flush. Money pit.

I don't know if they salt the roads in Oregon, but you may want to hit up a junkyard to replace that cracked splash shield, or slap some mud flaps over the hole (rally armor basics are like $20 shipped). The metal trunk panel where the tube comes out of is very prone to rusting, and it looks like yours is either rusted or painted over rust. It will eat through there and water will start seeping into your trunk under the plastic trim.
