Default Leaking sunroof/Blocked drain passage

i tracked down what i thought was a leaking sunroof to a blocked rh drain passage. water backed up and leaked into the headliner of the sunroof. i shoved a coat hanger up from the engine compartment and hit a pretty solid block. i also put some air to it, but nothing budged. i took out the headliner and discovered it is aft of the rubber connecting tube but i still dont have any drainage on the right side. any ideas on what to use to get thru there, i can't imagine what the hell is in there, it seems like solid metal????

is there any info on 1986 turbos having incomplete drains???

please throw some ideas at me, are there really long flexible snakes like for plumbing that i could weld a drill bit onto, i tried a drill bit in the end of some hose but i think it just spun the hose around the drill bit.

thanks in advance for any info.

I don't think you should have put wire down the holes, you have probably scratched the paint and now the metal will rust

Compressed air was a better idea.

Has it always been blocked since you owned the car ?
