Compressed air.

Or, reverse your shop vac.

If air doesn't do it, you can gently feed weed whacker line through the drain tubes

Yes. This is also another thing the MasterBlaster does well. FYI.

Q: "Honey, why did you buy a $350 blower?"

A: "I need to make sure I can drain the water out of the sunroof!"

I have the little guy version and it would probably also work. I didn't want to feel like I was towing a 1970's canister vacuum around.

They are at the four corners of the sunroof. They are very small openings you can see with the sunroof open. The ones at the front are easier to get at, so try locating them first. they will be in the metal "gutter" outboard of the rubber seal that you can see when the top is open. Sorry, don't have a photo now.

I have had multiple problems with this on BMW sunroofs, and will be blowing my 991 drains out with compressed air on a regular basis.

I never got the weed wacker lines to work for me as the ones I had were too flexible, and wanted to coil back up. Stainless safety wire works great though.

Good luck,
