Angry Sunroof Leak! How to clean the drains?

Has anyone ever successfully cleaned out the small drains for the sunroof? I remember a while back good advice on not to use compressed air since it will blow the tube back into the body.

Since my sunroof seal is leaking, how do I roto-rooter this damned thing to keep it from leaking into my interior?

A straightened coat hanger. Make sure to do all 4.

Heavy Weedwhacker string works great for drains and follows the curves better than wire.

Check the epoxy that the factory put near each inset drain tube. I had cracking that would let water in and follow the A-pillar. I applied JB Weld around each drain.

That's not the cause, but it's just a while you're in there kind of thing.
