I took the sunroofs out to clean and reseal. The plastic drain connectors were still connected so rather than risk breaking them, I made the stupid mistake of leaving them connected and removing the tubes. The rear tubes routed back through just fine, but these a pillar tubes for the front are getting jammed where the a pillar bends down into the door jamb. Feels like they aren’t making the turn. Help?

 

In the middle of this EXACT issue. Anyone run into this / have ideas?

 

Yep! I ended up buying this Klein fiberglass fish tape. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-To...6371/311464756

The fiberglass won’t scratch the inside of the a-pillar and the bullet-shaped end of the fish tape will mate nicely with the end of the drain tube. Run the fish tape up from the bottom of the car where the drains drain, thread it into the passenger compartment, secure the end of the fish tape into the end of the tube and wrap with electrical tape, and then pull it down through the a-pillar.

 

Just what I needed, I thought doing it from the bottom might be the trick. Thanks.

 

Once you have fish tape you'll wonder how you ever survived without it.
