Norman-

If you check out the Archives on this board (do a search for "sunroof" or "drains"), the most popular method is using some kind of compressed air to clear-out the drain tubes. Even the compressed air one would buy as part of a VCR cleaning kit. Others have tried using stereo speaker wire, but you run the risk of pulling the rubber hoses off the metal drain nipples.

Hope this helps.

I know this has been discussed, but I have not seen any suggestion on how to clear the rear sunroof drains. When I test with water outside the sunroof rails I get a slight drip in the right rear wheel well, but cannot see any tube exit. Help Please.....
