Post Sunroof Leak ?? Help

I have a sunroof leak, and have tried everything. One of my front drain holes is plugged. I used both weed whacker wire and bicycle brake line but it keeps getting stuck somewhare. I tried getting it from the bottom but, I don't know where the drain tube comes out through. Somewhere in the fender but where?? Is using "Drain-o" a good idea?

Rather than drain-o, which really isn't a good idea, I would consider putting the brake cable you used on the end of a drill and spinning it slowly like a plumber's snake, allowing it to find the path to the bottom.

I would be concerned however, of scraping the paint at the top of the drain witht the cable.

My 2 Cents

Before you get too wild with the roto-rooter, pull the rear liner from the front fender and take a look at the bottom. It is not unknown for the end of the hose to get pinched during liner installation.

Thanks for the drill idea, I will try it tonight. As far as taking of the rear liner from the front fender, I already did. The problem is that it's so crowded in there that I can't tell what's what. Since it's the passenger side, it has -A LOT- of different hoses.
