Sunroof Drains
This is on my agenda for this weekend- where do these drains exit in the front? For what its worth, the large star shaped rubber body drain is just fine after cleaning out the lumpy chocolate milk from it (RIP clean garage floor)
My rears drain just fine, fronts not so much. I tried some dawn soap and warm water and it will slowly drain, but obviously something is gummed up in there.
What is your best practice for this?

That's a fantastic idea!

A thought on the weed eater line:
Heat up the end you are going to push in and make sort of a 'flat scoop' on it. A couple putty knives will do the trick. Then, as you are working it in and out, rotate it so that the scoop can dig through whatever obstruction is there.
DO NOT push hard. The plastic lines are slip fit over the metal tubes. If you push too hard, they will come off. Don't use compressed air for the same reason.
Getting the lines back on the tubes is a pain.

I there was progress at least on the left drain- its coming out now nice and soapy.
I ran out of time to dicker with the right side so will try again next week.

I find that a pipe cleaner often works well -- and safely -- to break up the clog, which is usually near the top of the drain line. Get thee to a cigar shop!
