Sunroof drains are my guess.

I have a leak that is coming from the sunroof I believe. Any advice on how to access the drains to try and clear them? Also, where to the drains run to???

Default drains

I am sure there are many youtube videos to search, this forum, etc.

They are in the corners of the sunroof. I have heard of people using compressed air to clean them, that can blow apart the drain.

i have used weedwacker plastic line to shove down there to push it out.

THANKS! I will give that a shot. See what comes of it. I am hoping it is just a clog and not a broken/cracked nipple where the drain hose attaches. I am not ready to tackle pulling the headliner off just yet!

Be gentle if you are trying the weed whacker line method. I would suggest putting you line in hot water for a few minutes to make it a bit more flexible.

If you hit a obstruction, pull back and exert very gentle forward pressure. Any blockage should be trivial.

this is regarding the rear sunroof drain. The end of the tube is located at the rear behind the signal light housing on the body not the bumper.
